The Tenth Doctor, K-9 and the Tardis will be the first ever TV characters to be immortalised in this way, the South Wales Echo reports.
Head of UK licensing at BBC Worldwide Richard Hollis 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."
Royal Mint director of commemorative coins David Knight added: "Just as The Doctor is timeless, so too is the enduring appeal of the television series which continues to entertain audiences across the world.
"We hope fans everywhere will find these medals a fitting tribute not just to David Tennant, but to the whole Doctor Who story."
The 500 nine-carat gold medals will be available for £150 each, with the 5,000 sterling silver medals on sale for £35.
