These coins were minted last year, having been designed prior to the Queen’s passing, stamped with the year ‘2022’.
Two additional coins, emblazoned with Professor Dumbledore and Hogwarts school, will be issued with the King’s likeness featured on the opposite side of each one. Both coins will be dated ‘2023’.

Alex Siddons, who works for coin website Change Checker, expressed his opinion, stating: ‘When a coin’s design features one-of-a-kind tales behind it, such as dual dates, dual portraits or limited editions, they become must-haves immediately.’
Collectors find them more interesting and their value is perceived to be higher.
