Is the Harry Potter Patronus 50p in circulation?
No. The Royal Mint sold it as a Brilliant Uncirculated collector coin, with colour, silver and gold versions. The Mint's circulating mintage figures list only the Atlantic Salmon 50p for 2025, so a Patronus 50p found in change was spent by its owner.

Harry Potter casting a spell, with the inscription EXPECTO PATRONUM. The Royal Mint ties it to the scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in which he first practises the Patronus Charm, a defensive charm, during his third year at Hogwarts.
Who designed the Patronus 50p?
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.
How many Patronus 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 pages give limits for two editions: a maximum of 10,000 colour Brilliant Uncirculated coins and 2,510 silver proof colour coins.
Which Harry Potter 50p coins go with the Patronus?
The Royal Mint groups it with three other coins celebrating moments from the stories: The Winged Keys and The Black Lake, both dated 2024, and The Flying Car, dated 2025. The Mint offered silver proofs of all four together as a competition prize in 2025.

History and design
The Patronus 50p is a 2025 collector coin from the Royal Mint's Harry Potter range. It marks the scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in which, in the Mint's words, the boy wizard "practises a powerful defensive charm" during his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The Mint groups it with three other 50p coins celebrating moments from the stories: The Winged Keys and The Black Lake, dated 2024, and The Flying Car, issued earlier in 2025. Coin Hunter gives the release date as 31 July 2025, the day the Mint opened a launch competition with silver proofs of all four coins as the prize.
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. 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 Harry Potter casting a spell accompanied by the inscription EXPECTO PATRONUM".
The same proclamation, dated December 2024, authorised The Flying Car design. 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

The companion coins are the Flying Car 50p and the 2024 pair, beginning with the Winged Keys 50p.
