It will produce the limited edition Doctor Who items, the first time TV characters have featured on its medals.
They are being produced as Tennant, the 10th Doctor, prepares to bow out of the Tardis in a two-part Christmas special.
He will regenerate into Matt Smith, the latest actor to take on the time-travelling sci-fi role.
As well as Tennant, the Daleks and the Doctor's robot dog K-9 appear on the gold and silver medals.

''We hope fans everywhere will find these medals a fitting tribute not just to David Tennant, but to the whole Doctor Who story.''
Richard Hollis, the head of UK licensing at BBC Worldwide, which approved the use of the characters by Royal Mint, said: ''David Tennant's performance as the Doctor has been applauded and celebrated across the country and these medals are a fantastic way for fans to collect a lasting memento.''
