Royal Mint launches a collection of enchanting coins to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

", the first volume of the phenomenally successful adventures of the wizard and the fantastic universe created by author JK Rowling, specifies Royal Mint in a statement.

Harry Potter will feature alongside other unveiled collectibles featuring portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, who died last month, and two others with the official portrait of King Charles III.

The pound as volatile as Bitcoin

The series will include four rooms including a portrait of the famous wizard with round glasses but also the Hogwarts Express train, Professor Albus Dumbledore and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The coins will produce an optical effect which mimics the impact of a "

lightning bolt

" when they are rotated in front of the light, obtained thanks to a state-of-the-art laser which gives both a "

magical

" character to the coins , but also makes it possible to secure and authenticate them.

The pound sterling lost 0.78% against the dollar on Friday morning, and has lost 17.50% against the greenback since the start of the year.

Last month, it hit an all-time low of 1.03 to the dollar after Liz Truss' budget presentation.

According to the Bloomberg agency, the British currency has experienced almost the same level of volatility as the dollar in recent weeks.
