A Sickle[1] or Silver-Sickle (SickleSymbol)[2] was the second-most valued coin of the wizarding currency used in Great Britain.[1] Made out of silver, one Sickle was equal to 29 Knuts, and 17 Sickles made up a Galleon.[1]

Around the edge of each Sickle was a series of numerals which represented a serial number referring to the goblin that cast the coin.[3]
