The Royal Mint releases a new Harry Potter collection of collectible coins highlighting the iconic fictional wizard to honor the 25th publishing anniversary of the J.K. Rowling series' first book in the UK. Since the coins are now fronted by King Charles III to begin circulation, the Harry Potter coins will be the inaugural UK currency that spotlights both the new monarch and Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen's face will be seen on the first two designs that are now available and the final two will see King Charles III ready in 2023. The artwork of Harry Potter is done with the help of Jim Kay, who was the one who worked on the first fully illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
