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 strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design 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 in Royal Mint packaging and the design was also struck in a variety of metals and denominations.
