Where it came from
This 2012 New Zealand one-dollar coin was struck by the New Zealand Post to commemorate the cinematic release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Part of a larger series of legal tender coins minted by the Royal Dutch Mint under license, the release aimed to celebrate the country's profound connection to J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, which served as the filming location for Peter Jackson’s adaptations. These coins were produced in various finishes, including base metal and precious metals, designed to cater to both numismatists and fans of the film franchise.
The reverse design features a detailed portrayal of the character Gollum, rendered to capture his distinct appearance as seen in the films. The obverse features the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. The series was met with significant international interest, functioning as both a functional currency and a highly collectible piece of movie memorabilia, reflecting the intersection of national identity and global pop culture.
