The Royal Mint, which makes all the coins in the United Kingdom, has released Harry Potter-themed 50p coins to celebrate 25th anniversary of the publication of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' by JK Rowling in 1997.
The book was published by Bloomsbury Publishing and was the first in the series of stories detailing Harry Potter's life at the wizard school Hogwarts.
The special Harry Potter-themed coins will not only feature Harry's face, but will also feature portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and the recently announced King Charles III.
The first two 50p coins in the series are launched this year. The final two will launch next year and will feature the portrait of King Charles III.
