Hogwarts Express 50p Coin

The fifty pence coin commemorates 25 years since the first publication of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Using an illustration from the original artist from the first publication, Jim Kay, this 50p is the second in a series of four, and features the very excellent Hogwarts Express, departing from Platform 9 and 3/4!

What is on the obverse of this coin?

The Hogwarts Express coins will feature a portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse as is the case with the first coin in the set, the Harry Potter coin.

The Hogwarts Express 50p coin to be last with Queen’s portrait

This 50p coin featuring the Hogwarts Express is the final one to feature Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait.

The Hogwarts Express coin is part of a more extensive collection celebrating the 25 years of Harry Potter and the final two coins have not yet been released, and feature the official portrait of King Charles III.

What did the Royal Mint have to say about the coin release?

Director of Collector Services at The Royal Mint Rebecca Morgan said:

A change in portrait makes this collection a highly sought-after one

All four coins feature the work of the artist Jim Kay, who created the first fully illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

The Royal Mint's Harry Potter collection presents a unique opportunity for collectors and fans of Harry Potter across the world.
This collection of coins serves as a permanent reminder of the fascinating transition from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to His Majesty the King's first appearance on UK coins

 she added.

The third and fourth Harry Potter coins featuring Professor Dumbledore and Hogwarts School will feature the official coinage portrait of His Majesty The King and are due to be released in 2023.

How many Harry Potter coins are there?

The Royal Mint Harry Potter coin set features four coins.

  1. Harry Potter (2022)
  2. Hogwarts Express (2022)
  3. Dumbledore (2023)
  4. Hogwarts (2023)
