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. This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design 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 in Royal Mint packaging (49,590 sales) and in trade packaging for third parties (50,283 sales). The design was also struck in a variety of metals and denominations.

The coin was also available at the Royal Mint Experience as a Strike Your Own edition 26/11/22 - 09/12/22 (2,569 sales).
Interesting fact

It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley on the other side. The coin's mintage is limited to 3,000,000, making it a rare and sought-after collectible among coin collectors and Harry Potter fans.
