| Reverse description | A dramatic portrait of Sirius Black, the fictional character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter universe, dominates the central field, depicted in a brooding, intense rendering evocative of his incarceration. Looming in the background are Dementors, the spectral guards of the wizard prison Azkaban, rendered in shadowy, atmospheric relief to convey a sense of dread and confinement. The scene references the narrative of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Inscriptions identifying the subject and the Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. copyright notice appear in the field. The reverse lettering incorporates the French title of the film alongside the prison name AZKABAN. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris's multi-year Harry Potter licensing series, this issue was produced under a broader agreement with Warner Bros. that allowed the French mint to strike legal-tender collector coins based on the film franchise. The .333 fineness — more copper than silver — keeps it firmly in the novelty category despite the legal tender status, and mintages were capped to sustain collector demand across the series installments.
