| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail by engraver Martin Jennings, whose initials 'MJ' appear in the lower field. The circumferential legend reads 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2023' in raised Latin lettering, distributed around the periphery of the equilateral curve heptagonal flan. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of Royal Mint gold proof coinage. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Harry Potter character series, this issue continues a licensing arrangement with Warner Bros. that has produced dozens of collector coins since 2022. Dumbledore's inclusion follows earlier releases covering other principal characters, the series clearly structured to sustain collector demand across multiple annual tranches rather than issue a comprehensive set at once.
The .9167 fineness is standard 22-carat crown gold — the same alloy used for British sovereigns since 1817.
