| Additional information |
Samoa has functioned as a willing issuer for novelty collector pieces since the early 2000s, lending its legal tender status to licensed pop-culture strikes it has no organic connection to. This McGonagall piece is part of a broader Harry Potter series produced under Warner Bros. licensing, minted for the global collector market rather than any Pacific circulation.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at this weight is a deliberate nod to the feel of a bullion coin without the economics of one.
