Product description
Another silver coin from the series inspired by the Harry Potter film franchise features the depths of the Chamber of Secrets.
Salazar Slytherin, one of the fathers of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, advocated that students should be selected only from among pure-blood wizarding families. The other three founders, however, were not so narrow-minded, therefore, they broke with him. Offended Slytherin left Hogwarts, but left a dangerous legacy in the form of the Chamber of Secrets as a parting gift. In this cave, located deep underground beneath Hogwarts Castle, he hid not only his knowledge, but also a basilisk - a giant snake monster whose task was to cleanse the school of Muggle wizards upon the arrival of Slytherin's heir. The secret chamber has been lost for centuries. According to a myth, Hogwarts historians and headmasters have searched for it, but unsuccessfully. No one knew that only those who knew the serpent's language could open the Chamber of Secrets. But then an ambitious student, Tom Raddle, came to the school and went down in history as Lord Voldemort…
The reverse side of the coin presents Slytherin's monumental statue, the focal point of the Chamber of Secrets and home to the basilisk. An interesting detail of the relief is the reflection of the statue on the surface of the water. The coin is covered with patina, which emphasizes even the smallest details. The obverse side is then dedicated to the necessary elements of the issuer, which is the island of Niue - i.e. the national emblem, the nominal value of TWO DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2023. The coin with official film licence was minted by the New Zealand Mint team.
An elegant etui is an integral part of the issue.
