| Reverse description | A vivid colored depiction of the young wizard Harry Potter astride a broomstick, lunging forward with outstretched hand to seize one of the enchanted winged keys, inspired by a scene from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The background field features an engraved stone-wall chamber filled with a swarm of incised flying keys, while several colorfully rendered winged keys — in shades of blue, green, and purple — animate the lower and upper portions of the design. The legend THE WINGED KEYS is inscribed along the lower right arc of the heptagonal border. |

| Additional information |
The Winged Keys design is part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Harry Potter licensing series, which has generated some of the highest secondary-market premiums of any recent UK commemorative program. This particular piece falls within the post-accession Charles III coinage, meaning the obverse portrait follows the effigy introduced after Elizabeth II's death in September 2022 — the first new UK monarch's portrait in seventy years.
