To celebrate 25 years since the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, we have launched an enchanting collection of UK coins. The first coin in the collection features a portrait of Harry Potter and will be followed by designs featuring the Hogwarts Express, Professor Dumbledore, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The coins will be released across 2022 and 2023, but we’re giving you the chance to win the Harry Potter 2022 UK 50p Silver Proof Coin*, which features colour printing, right now.
* This competition is open to UK residents only.
