Interesting fact
The 50p coin featuring Charles III (Albus Dumbledore) was released in 2023 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. Despite this, the coin still holds legal tender status in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Crown Dependencies. This means that technically, you could use it to purchase goods or services in these regions, although its value as a collector's item may far exceed its face value.
