Royal Mint launches Hogwarts Express 50p featuring Queen’s portrait – how to get one

HARRY Potter fans can add to their collection with a new set of coins featuring the Hogwarts Express.
The new 50p has been unveiled as part of a new collection celebrating 25 years since the hit book Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone was published.
The Royal Mint has launched a Hogwarts Express 50p coin
The first Harry Potter book was published in 1997 and sold 120million copies.
The coin will feature the image of The Hogwarts Express and the boy wizard walking alongside the train with his suitcase and owl Hedwig.
Brilliant uncirculated coins are a higher standard than circulating and bullion coins.
The machines used to strike these coins are polished and finished by hand.
Proof coins are the highest quality coins produced by the Royal Mint and are all hand-finished.
Bullion coins are made from gold and silver and are usually used as an investment that aims to retain a certain value over time.
Some coins in the Harry Potter range also feature an enchanting “latent feature”;, which rotates in the light to reveal a lightning bolt and the number 25, marking the anniversary year.
Rebecca Morgan, Director of Collector Services at The Royal Mint said: “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.”;
Jim Kay, illustrator, and designer of the Harry Potter coin collection said: “It hasn’t really sunk in yet. It is the same for most aspects of publishing â because you are on your own all of the time in a studio, none of it quite seems real until you see the book on a shelf in a shop.
“Then you think ‘oh yeah! I did that.’ This is completely new to me though, a coin.”;
It’s not the first time the Royal Mint has released coins featuring beloved children’s characters.
