Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, with her portrait designed to resemble a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, specifically Frodo Baggins offering the One Ring to a Nazgûl. This coin was issued in 2003 by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as part of a series of coins celebrating the country's cultural heritage.
