Comment
The second in a 4-coin set commemorating the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first Harry Potter book - The Philosopher's Stone. This coin was the last commemorative coin to bear the image of The Queen in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.The coin was issued individually and was also struck in a variety of metals and denominations. Issue limit: 660.
