Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a portrait of Albus Dumbledore, a beloved character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, on its obverse side. This unique design was created to commemorate the life and legacy of Dumbledore, who is known for his wisdom, compassion, and leadership. The coin's reverse side features an image of the royal coat of arms, signifying the coin's issuance by the United Kingdom. The combination of Dumbledore's image and the royal coat of arms makes this coin a truly distinctive and collectible item for fans of both the Harry Potter series and numismatics.
