Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Silver $2 Coin Niue Legal Tender

The newest coin in our Royal Australian Mint at Perth collection is a commemorative with color (or colour, as they write in Her Majesty's realms).  It celebrates the 50th anniversary of the popular BBC television series, Doctor Who.
Doctor Who is the world's longest running science fiction television series. Produced by the BBC, the program portrays the adventures of a time travelling alien known as the Doctor who explores the universe in his TARDIS, an extraordinary ship which is bigger on the inside than the outside and has the appearance of a 1960s British Police Box.  Along with his succession of companions, the Doctor faces a variety of adversaries as he works to save civilizations, help people, and right wrongs across the cosmos.
Doctor Who was first aired in Britain in November 1963 and has since become an icon of British popular culture.  Today, the program is a cult television favorite as it continues to captivate audiences around the world.
The new coin is a legal tender $2 coin in the island nation of Niue (about which, more later).  The reverse is a color image of the famous TARDIS, Doctor Who's all purpose time machine and conveyance.  While the coin is spectacular, the packaging may be even more so. The anniversary coin is packaged in a special presentation case in the shape of the iconic TARDIS – the Doctor’s travel machine – within a BBC branded shipper.  The doors of the TARDIS open to the familiar ‘vworp vworp’ sound to display the collectable and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and the coin.
Under official license of BBC Australia & New Zealand, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who 1oz. coin is issued by the New Zealand Mint.  The New Zealand Mint will issue no more than 10,000 of these Doctor Who 50th Anniversary 2013 1oz. Silver Proof Coins in special TARDIS style packaging.  The coin has been minted by the Royal Australian Mint at Perth for the New Zealand Mint.
About Niue
This coin is legal tender in the nation of Niue.  It was minted under license from the BBC and owners of the Dr. Who copyright.  The Royal Australian Mint at Perth minted this coin for the Royal New Zealand Mint. Niue (NEW-ay) is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) northeast of New Zealand and within the triangle formed by Tonga (to the southwest), the Samoas (to the northwest) and the Cook Islands (to the southeast). Its land area is 260 square kilometres (100 sq mi) and its population, predominantly Polynesian, is around 1,400.  They commonly refer to the island as "the Rock", a reference to the traditional moniker "Rock of Polynesia".
The United Nations itself recognizes Niue as one of two states in the world (the other one being the Cook Islands) that, as of 2013, are neither member States nor observer States of the UN.  Both Niue and the Cook Islands are, however, full members of UNESCO, FAO, UNCLOS, and UNFCCC, among other international organisations and UN specialised agencies.

Niue is in free association with New Zealand, and most of its diplomatic relations are conducted by New Zealand on Niue's behalf. All Niueans are New Zealand citizens, and Queen Elizabeth II is Niue's head of state in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand. 90–95% of Niuean people live in New Zealand, along with about 70% of the speakers of the Niuean language.  (Source: Wikipedia)
