The 2013 $1 Elizabeth II (4th Portrait; Tauriel) coin from New Zealand features a unique design element - a small effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse (front side), surrounded by a larger depiction of the character Tauriel from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. This is the first time that a coin has featured a fictional character alongside a real-life monarch.
