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 not found in general circulation.[1] As of 1 November 2021, the silver content of each coin (in bullion quantities) was worth about £35.[2]
