All aboard! The UK Hogwarts Express 50p has entered the station!
Introducing the second coin in the UK Harry Potter 50p series, the Hogwarts Express 50p.
This spellbinding new UK 50p features a design of the iconic Hogwarts Express train, taken directly from the cover of Jim Kay’s 2015 illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone.
Set to sell out
The first 50p in the series, featuring Harry Potter himself, was incredibly popular, with all key limited specifications selling out within just 2 hours of release, not surprising as it was the first ever UK Harry Potter 50p and it featured that special lenticular feature.
This unique feature returns on the Hogwarts Express UK 50p, showing the trademark Harry Potter lightning bolt and the number 25, celebrating 25 years since the publication of the first book.
The FINAL individual collectable 50p featuring Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait
It’s been confirmed that the Hogwarts Express 50p will be the last individual collectable 50p to feature Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait on the obverse. This means that any future UK collectable 50ps issued will bear the new King Charles III effigy.
The FIRST UK 50p series with dual monarchs
Importantly, the Hogwarts Express 50p will be the last Harry Potter 50p to feature Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait. The other coins in the series will feature King Charles III’s portrait, making this the first ever UK 50p series to feature two different obverse monarchs.
Feel Harry’s excitement at the station
The Silver Proof Hogwarts Express 50p is struck from .925 silver to a pristine proof finish, and uses vivid colour to breathe life into the design. You can almost imagine standing on the platform waiting to board the train, feeling the excitement Harry must have felt.
You can, of course, also own the Hogwarts Express 50p in brilliant uncirculated quality.
And for something extra special, you can secure the most limited specification, gold proof.
The silver proof specification of this brand new 50p is strictly limited to just 15,000, so you’ll have to act fast to get your hands on one.

Celebrate 60 years of 007 with this extremely limited silver proof coin!
2022 marks the 60th anniversary of one of Britain’s most famed fictional action heroes – the one and only, James Bond!
You can now join The Perth Mint in honouring this exciting anniversary with an exquisite 1oz Silver Proof Rectangle Coin!
But first, let’s go back to where it all began…
Becoming BOND
Born from the innovative mind of former intelligence officer and author Ian Fleming in 1953, James Bond has become the most iconic fictional British Secret Service agent EVER!
Now, 60 years after the premiere of the first movie, Dr. No, James Bond continues to entertain and excite audiences around the world in one of cinema’s longest running and most successful franchises.
The Coin Itself…
To commemorate 60 years of revolutionary cinema, this officially licensed 1oz rectangular coin has been struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, and even issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu!
Not only is the coin’s coloured reverse a representation of the official 60th anniversary logo and the iconic 007-gun motif, but each coin is presented in a 007 branded case inside themed packaging. The coin also comes accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
But that’s not all – the obverse of the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the 2022 year-date, weight, purity and monetary denomination.
But, there’s a catch…
EXTREMELY LIMITED
With a shockingly low worldwide edition limit of 5,000, the good news is we have managed to get our hands on a small amount for only our most dedicated collectors…
Just 100 coins are available to our UK customers, and with this product commemorating one of the most popular British themes, very few collectors will be able to seize this rare opportunity!
