“I grew up watching Doctor Who as a child in New Zealand which, coincidentally, was the first country outside the UK to screen the show,” said NZ Mint chief executive NZ Mint Chief Executive. “It’s a great honour to now be asked to produce these coins to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Fans are going to really like what we’ve come up with.”
