Queen features on new 50p coin marking BBC centenary
By Charley AdamsBBC News
A commemorative 50p Coin has been unveiled by The Royal Mint to mark The Bbc 's centenary.
The Coin - priced at £11 - pays tribute to The Bbc 's global reach and shows a broadcast mast emerging from The Earth .
It also features an image of The Queen rather than King Charles - whose effigy will now adorn all new coins.
The coins were produced before The Queen died in September and will not be re-struck in order to " minimise waste or unnecessary environmental impact".
The Queen 's depiction on The coins is expected to create a " high demand" among collectors, said The Royal Mint .
The Reverse side of The Coin is also inscribed with " inform, educate, entertain" - The values set out by Lord Reith when he founded The Bbc in 1922.
Rebecca Morgan, The Royal Mint 's director of collector services, said The Company was " delighted" to work with The Bbc " to create a special 50p" to mark 100 years of The organisation.
" An ever-present British Institution for Most People 's lives, The Bbc has had a marked influence on our culture and broadcast some of The Most extraordinary moments in British history. "
The British Broadcasting Company, as The Bbc was originally called, was started on 18 October 1922 by a group of leading wireless manufactures including Macroni and daily broadcasting began on 14 November.
BBC director general Tim Davie said The National broadcaster was " honoured" adding that The design " perfectly captures The Bbc 's huge reach and impact".
