The UK's Royal Mint has unveiled the final coin in a collection celebrating 25 years since the first publication of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
The coin features Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is available as a 50p [pence] and in other denominations.
The collection, first launched in 2022, also features Harry Potter, the Hogwarts Express and Professor Albus Dumbledore, created by writer J K Rowling, on individual coins.
The Royal Mint's craftspeople have reproduced Jim Kay's illustrations in colour on some of the coins. Many also include a "latent feature" which rotates in the light to reveal a lightning bolt and the number "25".
An advanced laser was used to imprint the intricate designs. The collection is one of a small number to have had a change of portrait during the series.
The first two coins feature the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the final two portray King Charles III.
Rebecca Morgan, director of collector services at the Royal Mint, said: "We have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating 25 years since the novel Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone was first released with a unique coin collection."
The series has been created in partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing, the Blair Partnership and Warner Bros, Consumer Products.
Prices for the new coin range from £11 GBP for a brilliant uncirculated version to £5,215 GBP for a £200 GBP denomination gold proof coin.

Scottish Greens MSP for North East Scotland Maggie Chapman poses on the sand dunes by the sea, in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on October 28, 2024. As Donald Trump pursues a second stint in the White House, thousands of miles away in his mother's birth country of Scotland he is building a new golf course that is dividing opinion among his Scottish neighbours. For some, it will be symbolic of the Republican candidate's adoration for his ancestral home and a driver of economic investment.
For others, it is set to be a display of ostentation that will bring little benefit to the local community.,Image: 929741738, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PETER HUTCHINSON, Model Release: no
