Comment
The first in a 4-coin set commemorating the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first Harry Potter book - The Philosopher's Stone. The coin continued 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: 750

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Harry Potter, the famous fictional character created by J.K. Rowling, on the other side. This unique combination of a real-life monarch and a beloved fictional character makes the coin a truly distinctive and collectible item.
