A new Harry Potter coin collection celebrating 25 years since the first book was released will feature portraits of both Queen Elizabeth II and the King. The coins from the Royal Mint commemorate the JK Rowling novel Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone first being published in the UK in 1997 by Bloomsbury Publishing.
The Royal Mint said its Harry Potter collection will be one of "a small number" that will see a change of portrait – from Elizabeth to Charles. The first two coins will launch this year featuring the portrait of Elizabeth, before the final two coins are released next year with the portrait of Charles.
