Where it came from
This 2003 New Zealand one-dollar coin was struck by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to commemorate the cinematic success of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Produced in the wake of the final film's release, the coin serves as a numismatic tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien’s enduring legacy and the national pride associated with the films being produced in New Zealand.
The coin features an illustration of Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins, rendered with detail that reflects the aesthetic of the New Line Cinema production. As part of a broader series celebrating the characters of Middle-earth, the design was intended for collectors and fans of the series. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, maintaining the standard legal tender format for New Zealand currency of that era.
