Harry Potter and the Numismatist's Desire

Harry Potter was proud to say that he was a perfectly normal wizard, thank you very much. He was the last person you'd expect to be involved in anything numismatic, because he just didn't know about such things. 

With profuse apologies to J.K. Rowling and her book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for this brief parody, Today I will focus on the admittedly few, but still impressive, coin-themed feats of Harry Potter.

First and Foremost, the Isle of Man released a set of Harry Potter Crowns in 2001/2002, and enjoyed relative collector appeal:

These coins feature scenes from the first two Harry Potter Movies. I myself am a crown collector, so these hold great appeal for me, but the best part is yet to come...

All true HP fans are aware of the Gringotts monetary sytem:

"Seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, it's easy enough"

And now I present to you...

The Money of the Wizarding World!

Gold Galleon

Silver Sickle

Bronze Knut

This wasn't how I personally pictured them, but the designs are nice either way.

I'm Back!

It's been almost a year since I last blogged. Sorry about that. I got caught up in life and things like that, so just know that I intend to get better about blogging more often. Today's post is just to let you know that I'm getting back on track and I fully intend to keep going. Expect a new juicy post in the next couple of weeks!

 Thanks for reading!
