| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Harry Potter licensing series, this piece is a commercial collectible rather than a coin with any meaningful monetary history. The "Hogwarts Express" theme draws on Warner Bros. intellectual property, and the £5 face value is purely nominal — no example has ever entered circulation, nor was that ever the intent.
The Sp#HP6 reference places it sixth in the sequence, suggesting the series had already built sufficient retail demand to sustain multiple releases by 2022.
