| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Hufflepuff House crest from the Harry Potter franchise in high relief with polychrome coloring. A quartered heraldic shield in black and yellow occupies the central field, charged with a rampant badger rendered in gold tones. The shield is surmounted by a helmet crest and flanked by elaborate gold-toned acanthus scroll mantling. A ribbon banner in the lower portion bears the trademarked legend HUFFLEPUFF™ in raised Latin lettering. The overall design faithfully reproduces the official Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. house crest in numismatic form. |

| Additional information |
Part of a licensed Harry Potter house series issued through the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Cook Islands — a jurisdiction that has long served as a vehicle for novelty commemorative programs that would never pass muster through a major sovereign mint. The gold-plated iron composition is unusually base even by the standards of this market; most comparable fantasy issues use copper-nickel or silver.
Iron corrodes. The gold plating will not protect indefinitely.
