Silver foil 2 NZD The Lord Of The Rings 2021 Middle Earth

Many people dream to visit the world created by J. R. R. Tolkien for his books entitled The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. An unusual silver coin in the form of a map of Middle Earth will help anyone who would like to get lost in it, at least for a while.

The continent called Middle Earth is home to strange beings - not only humans, but also elves, dwarves, hobbits, ents, goblins, ogres, dragons and others. They inhabit the fertile fields of the Region in the west and the deadly wastelands of Mordor in the east. While in the noble forests of Lothlórien they live in harmony with nature, in the breathtaking depths of Moria they transform it into their image. All these places have a glorious history and forgotten secrets, and no one who wants to know them can do without a map. Whether he or she is preparing for an adventure to discover a lost dwarven treasure or for a military campaign against evil, which is about to swallow the whole of Middle Earth…

The reverse side of the rectangular coin of the New Zealand Mint presents a color map of the Mediterranean, where you will find places known from J. R. R. Tolkien's books and from the feature films that were inspired by them. The obverse side then bears the necessary attributes of the issuer of the coin, which is the island of Niue - the name and the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the nominal value of TWO DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2021.

The silver map measuring 175x262 mm is set in an acrylic frame and wrapped in an envelope with movie motifs.
