The British mint The Royal Mint honors "Harry Potter" with a commemorative coin. The occasion is the 25th anniversary of the publication of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". In 1997, Joanne K. Rowling (57) published the first novel about the magic student.

The Hogwarts Express is the focal point of the coin. This train, which departs from platform 9 ¾ of King's Cross Station in London, is where Harry Potter first traveled to Hogwarts Magic School in the 1997 novel. Harry Potter is standing next to the locomotive with his luggage, his owl Hedwig is flying above him.

This is the second Harry Potter commemorative coin this year. The portrait of the title hero can be seen on the first issue of the anniversary edition. It came out in October. In 2023, two more motifs from the "Harry Potter" world will come out. Hogwarts magic boarding school is said to be depicted on one coin, and its director Albus Dumbledore on the other.

The "Harry Potter" edition of the Royal Mint has a special feature: Two different monarchs can be seen on the back of the different motifs. Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8th, is engraved on the first two motifs. Her son and successor, King Charles III, will be on the following copies next year. pictured. Because of this change within the collection, the Royal Mint is assuming a run on the coins.

The fact that these are the last 50 pence coins with the Queen's portrait will also make the edition attractive for collectors. Harry Potter coins come in a variety of designs, ranging in price from £11 to £5,215.
