Harry Potter coins being sold by The Royal Mint.
Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin :) Or you can buy some if you like? They would make great presents I imagine.

Wow - there can't be many authors that have had their work commemorated on legal tender whilst they were still living! What an achievement JK Rowling 🙌

Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m getting a couple. Perfect for my DD bday.

Im in the US, and they have them available on this site too.

Tempted. Those books gave my offspring a love of reading.

@JaneorEleven
It's the same site - The Royal Mint. That "company" makes all the coins ( and I assume the bank notes? - No it's not I just checked it ) that we use as currency in the UK. I think it's both a private company for profit, but it makes the money for the United KIngdom. That website is sort of the gifty / investment side of the company. The point I'm making is it's not any old company knocking out collectible coins, those coins are legal tender in the UK. You'd be mad to spend them, and shop staff might be confused by them, but they are UK legal tender I think. A 50p coin is half a GB Pound £, sort of equivalent to 2 quarters in a single coin.

The website is a bit crap to navigate.
e.g. here's another link with all four coins as a collection
www.royalmint.com/shop/limited-editions/harry-potter/harry-potter-coin-collection/

The four coin collection that costs £20. Is one of each design of 50p piece. So has a £2 value as currency.

The four coin collection that costs £69.50 PER COIN Is the same four coins as above but made from 92.5%pure Sterling Silver instead of the usual crap metals our coins are made from. Interestingly of the 4 coins two bear the head of our Queen who passed last year, and two bear the head of our new King who is due to be coronated ( official King making ceremony ) this year. Limited to 15000 sets.

The four coin collection that costs £99.50 PER COIN "One Ounce Silver Proof Four-Coin Collection" are bigger coins with more edges are £2 coins each ( not 50ps like above ) made from 99.9%pure Fine Silver and each weigh almost 4 times what the 50p silver coins weigh. Again Limited to 15000 sets.

The more expensive coins each come in a fancy little presentation box.
For a child who grows up on Harry Potter I think those coins could be a rather magical gift. Note the coins if you buy them don't all arive in a single packet. They are yet to be released and wil be sent out one by one as they are released.

The Harry Potter coins are £20 each, not for all four.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've spent rather a lot of money this evening!

JaneorEleven · 02/03/2023 22:49

@lechiffre55 Got it, thanks. I’m pleased I can buy them in usd and have them shipped to the US. Now to figure out what to get. I usually buy my DD something interesting at Easter, this fits the bill nicely.

JaneorEleven · 03/03/2023 03:43

For anyone ordering from the US, when I placed my order it removed the shipping charge and gave me free shipping to the US on a set of 4 coins, and it also removed the VAT, so I paid just over 9 GBP for each coin in the set.

Thanks again OP for posting this.

Check your ordinary change too.

The royal mint put some 50p coins into circulation in November 2022, these will be the only coins issued with the 2022 date AND the king. The best place to get one (or a bag) is the post office.

I got some from the post office, I've already seen them being sold on ebay for £3.50. The listing say 'uncirculated' but they are actually 'in circulation'

FixTheBone · 03/03/2023 06:24

We ordered these for our daughter last year... The third coin - King Charles / Dumbledore was delivered yesterday.....

...just not to our house, judging by the recorded delivery photo...

...well done royal mail
