As Harry Potter fans ready themselves for the sequel to 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it seems we mere muggles have once again caught wizarding fever. In recognition of the buzz the series is generating, a wide range of commemorative items based on the film is now available from organizations around the world. One piece of eye-catching memorabilia in particular is the latest new offering from Legendary Precious Metals (an initiative by U.S. Money Reserve), a leading purveyor of entertainment-inspired collectible coins. As we anxiously await the highly anticipated next installment in the film series, let’s take a look at this item on sale, as well as a look back at the movie that brought us to this point.

Extraordinary Plot

To understand the details of the limited-mintage coin offered by Legendary Precious Metals, it is necessary to understand the broad strokes of the film upon which it is based.

The first film in the Fantastic Beasts series follows the story of a young Newt Scamander. When we first meet our protagonist, he has just arrived in 1926 New York, fresh off the heels of a worldwide trip to document and collect a wide array of magical creatures. We soon find that he’s something of a magical Dr. Dolittle, presenting an extraordinary ability to commune with the range of animals he keeps in his seemingly small briefcase.

As our hero’s journey progresses, he finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes turn of events, during which he teams up with a “no-maj” (the American term for “muggle”) and an officer representing the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Together, the three characters embark on an adventure to clean up the mess created by the escape of one of Newt’s creatures and the troubling emergence of a dark and dangerous wizard. By the end of the film, though the heroes have earned their hard-fought victories, it is clear that they have much more difficult trials ahead.

Commemorative Coins

To celebrate the popular film series and offer customers an opportunity to purchase precious metals that are both valuable and related to their interests, Legendary Precious Metals is offering a special commemorative coin related to the film. This latest offering is a .999 silver coin composed of one ounce of the precious metal in high relief. Not only is the purity of the metal itself evident upon inspection, but the high quality of the craftsmanship of the coin’s imagery is also apparent.

The obverse of the coin showcases the likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. That image was created by Ian Rank-Broadley, the well-known sculptor whose effigy of the Queen has appeared on all U.K. and Commonwealth coinage since 1998. The reverse side of the coin displays the seal of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, the governing body from the Fantastic Beasts films.

Magical Details

The coins were struck by BH Mayer in Germany, a mint that has long been known for its highly skilled crafting in the field of numismatics. Past offerings from the mint have included a range of coins, including those commemorating John F. Kennedy, Mother Teresa, and Pope John Paul II. The coins created especially for the Fantastic Beasts film series were crafted using the mint’s Smartminting© technology. This technology is responsible for the notable high relief that one can clearly see upon inspection of the coin.

Not only is it composed of a precious metal, but it is also a desirable item for both fans of the Harry Potter world and coin collectors alike with only 10,000 coins in existence. The collectible is the first in a planned series of coins that will span the run of the film franchise.

Legendary Precious Metals Examined

The company behind the coin series, Legendary Precious Metals, is a strategic initiative from U.S. Money Reserve, meant to serve customers who enjoy collecting unique commemorative coins but still appreciate the signature commitment to legal-tender coinage offered by America’s Gold Authority®. Legendary Precious Metals is also home to the exclusive Spider-Man: Homecoming Gold & Silver Coin Series with an authentic Stan Lee signature.

The company’s level of insight serves as top-down motivation for all staff at the company, which is often recognized for the knowledge and assistance provided to customers by account executives. Through direct discussion, the account team helps determine actions for clients to take based on their individual financial goals. This process is especially important in light of the uncertainty in U.S. financial markets expressed by many economists. With many experts forecasting instability in a variety of asset classes, more and more customers are seeking out precious metals for their role as a traditional store of wealth.

The newest collectible coin from Legendary Precious Metals and U.S. Money Reserve, in honor of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is just one of the many coins the company has provided to customers over the years. Right now, coin enthusiasts and Harry Potter fans alike can purchase the coin, as well as other limited-edition pieces, during Legendary Precious Metals’ “Supernatural October Sale.” This particular coin, the first in a series, is not only notable for its level of craftsmanship and quality, but also the ways in which it allows those new to the world of coins an accessible point of entry. With a limited mintage and design that appeals to both fans of the series and coin enthusiasts alike, the coins will likely sell out soon. Those looking toward upcoming installments of the film franchise can get their fix of the wizarding world that so many of us have come to love before the coins sell out.
