The Harry Potter saga, as much as it is about the hero and his friends, is also very much about a place. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the vibrant heart of the saga, providing the sense of enchantment and wonder that suffuses the tales on page and screen alike. The school, in turn, has a heart of its own: the Great Hall around which most of the major events in its official and social calendars revolve, and where multiple pivotal events in the overall story of Harry Potter take place. The New Zealand Mint celebrates this iconic location with the 2022 Proof Niue Hogwarts The Great Hall 3 oz Silver Coin.
Highlights:
The 2022 Proof Niue Hogwarts The Great Hall Silver Coin is a showcase of high-relief engraving whose details are accentuated by a beautiful antiqued finish. It ships in officially branded box packaging whose design echoes theDaily Prophetnewspaper from Harry Potter, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Provident Metals fully insures your shipment against even the most remote possibility of loss or damage.
Obverse
The coin’s obverse side features Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, confirming it as legal tender of Niue. It’s surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “TEN DOLLARS,” and “2022.”
Reverse
The reverse side features an extraordinarily detailed, high-relief engraving of the Great Hall in Hogwarts. It stands empty, awaiting the crowd of new students sure to come through the does, with the throne-like chairs of the faculty arrayed at its head.
History
The Great Hall functions in Harry Potter not only as a setting for much of the school’s official, educational and social lives, but also as a stage for many critical events of the Harry Potter saga, right from the hero’s introduction to the school’s Sorting Hat and to House Gryffindor, all the way through to the climactic act of the story. As locations in the series go, there are few that can match its scale of enchantment of wonder, and also its overall narrative importance. It is simply as iconic as locations in the wizarding world can get.
