A spellbinding design
This enchanting coin captures the adventure of the memorable scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Harry and Ron soar above the British countryside in a bewitched Ford Anglia, racing towards Hogwarts.
The reverse design, by Bella Biggs, brings to life the moment when Harry and Ron take flight in the magical car after missing the Hogwarts Express. The illustration is sure to summon the feeling of excitement you felt when first reading or watching the second instalment in the Harry Potter series, and true Harry Potter fans won’t want to miss seeing this coin in the flesh!

Continuing the magical journey
The 2025 Harry Potter: The Flying Car 50p isn’t the first time the beloved wizard has featured on a UK coin…
The release follows the 2024 Harry Potter: The Black Lake 50p, illustrating the tense underwater task during the Triwizard Tournament from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Also issued in 2024 was the Harry Potter: The Winged Keys 50p, which depicted Harry’s skilful broomstick flying skills whilst chasing the enchanted flying key in Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone.
Not to be forgotten of course is the 4-coin 50p series featuring recognisable characters or locations from the stories, issued in 2022 and 2023 to celebrate 25 years since the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The very first coin featured Harry Potter himself, followed by the Hogwarts Express train, Professor Dumbledore and Hogwarts School.
These coins were extremely popular with collectors, so much so that they’re now all no longer available from The Royal Mint!
Don’t let this coin fly past you!
Given the popularity of previous Harry Potter themed coins, you should act quickly to secure this latest magical 50p for your collection.

Why has the Ford Anglia 105E been converted to Left-Hand Drive? Such a pity. So disappointing.
Hi Andrew, that is an excellent point! From what I can see, the original illustration showed the car facing the left, and so it seems the image has been flipped, making it look as though the car is left hand drive. The Ford Anglia in both the Harry Potter books and films is a right-hand drive.
