The Elder Wand in Pure Silver – A Magical First for Collectors
In the wizarding world, no wand is more feared, desired, or steeped in legend than the Elder Wand. Said to be unbeatable in a duel, it has passed through the hands of history’s most powerful witches and wizards. One of the fabled Deathly Hallows, it is said to grant its master unmatched magical ability.
But until now, it has only existed in the realm of fiction…

The Legend Lives On
According to The Tale of the Three Brothers, the Elder Wand was created by Death himself and given to Antioch Peverell. Over the centuries, it became a prize won only through power, cunning, or betrayal — from Gellert Grindelwald to Albus Dumbledore, and finally Harry Potter himself.
On screen, its distinctive bead-like handle and slender, tapering form made it instantly recognisable to fans worldwide. It is not just an artefact — it is a symbol of destiny, mastery, and the fine line between ambition and greed.

From Page & Screen… to Pure Silver
After more than a year in the making, this legendary wand has been brought to life in a way never seen before — as a three-dimensional Pure Silver Coin.
Crafted from 3oz of 99.9% Pure Silver and enriched with 24 Carat Gold Plating, every curve, bead, and detail has been faithfully recreated. The result is not a flat engraving, but a high-relief sculpture that captures the Elder Wand’s elegance and power.
Our studio’s photographs showcase its craftsmanship, but nothing compares to seeing it in motion. That’s why we’ve created an exclusive video, giving you a 360° view of the coin’s sculpted artistry — so you can truly appreciate the depth, texture, and gleam of the precious metals.

Marking 125 Years: A Tribute to the Queen Mother’s Legacy
On 4th August 2025, we mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, a royal figure revered not only for her public role, but for the profound and lasting impact she had on the British people and the wider Commonwealth. In recognition of this historic milestone, a special range of limited edition £5 commemorative coins has been released — a dignified tribute to her enduring legacy.

Born Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1900, she married the future King George VI and stood resolutely beside him as Queen Consort following the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936. In this unexpected role, she became a source of steadfast support during the Second World War, choosing to remain in London during the Blitz and famously declaring that she would not leave the King’s side, even as Buckingham Palace itself came under attack. Her courage, grace, and calm assurance earned her widespread admiration and the enduring affection of the nation.

Did you know? During a royal tour of bombed-out parts of London in 1940, the Queen Mother’s presence was so moving that one survivor recalled: “She came into my ruined home, and suddenly everything felt bearable.” It was this deep connection with the public that defined her reign as Queen Consort — and endured for the rest of her life.
Following the death of King George VI in 1952, she became known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, continuing to serve the monarchy and the public with devotion for another five decades. Her warmth and humour, as well as her unrelenting commitment to duty, made her one of the most respected and beloved members of the Royal Family. Her passing in 2002, at the age of 101, was mourned deeply across the globe.

To commemorate this significant milestone, a special range of £5 coins has been issued, celebrating the Queen Mother’s extraordinary life and legacy. Struck to the highest standards — including editions in Proof and Sterling Silver and Gold — these coins serve as a dignified tribute to a woman whose enduring influence still resonates today. Each piece has been thoughtfully presented, many accompanied by certificates of authenticity and limited edition status, offering collectors and admirers a meaningful way to honour her memory.
A Design Steeped in Royal Symbolism
The reverse shows a graceful new portrait of the Queen Mother, inspired by Richard Stone’s famous painting. She wears the Greville Tiara and Queen Alexandra’s Wedding Necklace, framed by a floral wreath for the four UK nations. Her royal monogram below completes this personal tribute.
The collection is now available online for a limited time.

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.
