Comment
Issued as part of a three coin set to commemorate the making of the Lord of the Rings movies in New Zealand (10,454 issued).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (4th Portrait; Sauron) 2003 from New Zealand is that it features a unique design that combines the image of Queen Elizabeth II with the fictional character of Sauron from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth stories. This coin was issued as part of a series of coins commemorating the release of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and its design was inspired by the iconic One Ring that Sauron sought to reclaim in the stories. The use of nickel brass in the coin's composition adds to its distinctiveness, as it is a metal alloy that is not commonly used in coinage. Overall, this coin is a fascinating collector's item that showcases the creativity and craftsmanship of the Royal Canadian Mint.
