The one hundred pound coin (£100) is a commemorative denomination of sterling coinage. Issued for the first time by the Royal Mint in 2015 and sold at face value, £100 coins hold legal tender status but are intended as collectors' items and are rarely found in general circulation.[1] As of 1 November 2024[update], the silver content of each coin (in bullion quantities) was worth about £46.[2]
