Many of the coins in the range also feature a "latent feature" which rotates in the light to reveal a lightning bolt and the number 25 to mark the anniversary year. The illustrations which feature in the collection are by illustrator and printmaker Jim Kay, who was personally chosen by J.K Rowling to work on each novel, and are from the first book in the seven-part series. ![]() ![]() The Harry Potter and Hogwarts Express coins feature the portrait of Her Late Majesty, and the final two coins will feature the official portrait of King Charles III. What is particularly unique about this set of coins is that they will feature portraits of two reigning monarchs which the royal Mint says is very rare and makes this set "highly collectable".
