The legend HARRY POTTER arcs prominently across the upper field in the iconic franchise typeface, with BELLATRIX LESTRANGE inscribed vertically along the right periphery and SLYTHERIN partially visible along the lower portion of the Slytherin crest. The copyright notice TM & © WBEI (s21) appears in the upper left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements for decades, and the Harry Potter character series sits squarely in that tradition — coins produced primarily for the collector market with minimal connection to the islands themselves. Bellatrix Lestrange appeared as a character in J.K. Rowling's novels beginning with Goblet of Fire in 2000 and was portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter in the film adaptations from 2007 onward. Silver-plated iron rather than sterling was the deliberate production choice here, keeping unit costs low across what was a large licensed series.
