Comment

Issued as part of a three coin set to commemorate the making of the Lord of the Rings movies in New Zealand.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the image of Queen Elizabeth II with a depiction of Frodo Baggins, the main character from J.R.R. Tolkien's popular book and movie series, "The Lord of the Rings." This coin was issued as a commemorative piece to celebrate the release of the movie trilogy, and its design is a nod to the fantasy and adventure themes that are central to the story. The use of nickel brass as the material for the coin adds to its unique character and makes it stand out from other coins.
