| Additional information |
Samoa has issued licensed Harry Potter pieces under arrangement with Warner Bros., using the half dollar denomination as a nominal face value on what are effectively bullion-format collectibles. Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, appears in this series alongside other characters and magical objects from the franchise. These were not intended for circulation and were distributed through numismatic retail channels, primarily in Europe and Asia.
The silver-plated copper-nickel composition places this firmly outside precious-metal collecting and into the novelty commemorative category — a distinction that affects secondary market pricing considerably.
