The 2025 UK Harry Potter The Patronus 50p – A Powerful Finale to the Coin Collection
The final chapter of the Harry Potter Iconic Moments Collection has arrived — and it brings one of the most emotionally resonant scenes of the series to life. The 2025 UK Harry Potter The Patronus 50p commemorates the pivotal moment in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry learns to summon the Patronus Charm — his most powerful defence against darkness.
The Story Behind the Spell
During his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter faces one of his most chilling challenges: the Dementors. These soul-sucking, wraithlike guardians of Azkaban are sent to patrol Hogwarts after the prison’s most feared inmate, Sirius Black, escapes.
Harry first encounters a Dementor aboard the Hogwarts Express, triggering traumatic memories from his past. Throughout the school year, under the guidance of his new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Remus Lupin, Harry learns to defend himself using a powerful protective spell — the Patronus Charm.
It is this iconic, transformative moment that is captured in the final release of this numismatic series.
A Stylised Tribute to a Legendary Scene
The coin’s reverse has been designed by Bella Biggs, Product Designer at The Royal Mint, and is based on Jim Kay’s critically acclaimed illustrated editions of the Harry Potter novels. It features a stylised depiction of the moment Harry casts the Patronus Charm, a symbol of hope, memory, and strength.
The design is available across three collectible formats: Brilliant Uncirculated, Silver Proof, and Gold Proof, with select versions featuring vivid colour-printed details.
