Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with an image of Aragorn, a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth stories, on the reverse side. This design was created to commemorate the coronation of Aragorn as the King of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The coin's design is a nod to the popularity of Tolkien's works in New Zealand and the coin's mintage was limited to 10,000 pieces, making it a sought-after collector's item.
