Is the Harry Potter Flying Car 50p in circulation?

The Royal Mint credits the reverse to Warner Bros and does not name an individual artist. The portrait of King Charles III on the obverse is by Martin Jennings, whose effigy has appeared on UK coins since 2022.
How many Flying Car 50p coins were made?
The Royal Mint has not published a figure for the standard Brilliant Uncirculated coin, and there is no circulating mintage. Its product page for the colour Brilliant Uncirculated edition gives a maximum coin mintage of 10,000.
Which Harry Potter 50p coins go with the Flying Car?
The Royal Mint describes the Flying Car as the third coin in its collection celebrating moments from the stories. The Winged Keys and The Black Lake came first, both dated 2024, and The Patronus followed later in 2025.

History and design
The Flying Car 50p is a 2025 collector coin from the Royal Mint's Harry Potter range, with a design credited to Warner Bros. It recalls the moment in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry Potter and Ron Weasley fly an enchanted Ford Anglia to Hogwarts.
The Mint describes it as the third coin in its collection celebrating moments from the stories. The Winged Keys and The Black Lake, both dated 2024, came before it, and The Patronus followed later in 2025. The Mint's design list shows four earlier Harry Potter 50p coins, dated 2022 and 2023.
It was not issued for circulation. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list only the Atlantic Salmon 50p for 2025, and the Mint sold this design as a Brilliant Uncirculated coin. Coin Hunter gives the release date as 20 March 2025. No sales figure has been published.
The Royal Mint credits the reverse to Warner Bros and names no individual artist. The proclamation describes it as "a depiction of a flying car accompanied by the inscription THE FLYING CAR". The Mint calls the design charming and stylised, and says it is brought to life in colour on certain editions.
The denomination is on the obverse, which carries Martin Jennings' portrait of King Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 50 PENCE and the date 2025. The edge is plain.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
The standard coin was sold sealed in a Royal Mint pack. A loose example should be checked for handling marks, since a coin that has been spent no longer has an uncirculated finish.
The colour Brilliant Uncirculated edition has a stated maximum coin mintage of 10,000. The Mint also lists a silver proof colour coin and a gold proof with the same design.
Collectors building the set will want the Winged Keys 50p and the Patronus 50p alongside it.
