Gold Quarter Ounce 2022 Lord of the Rings - Gollum, Coin from Niue
CoinGold Quarter Ounce 2022 Lord of the Rings - Gollum

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - such as a quarter ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/4 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to characters from the Lord of the Rings books and films, and features Gollum.

The Mint says about it:
This coin has a raised and frosted image of the conflicted Gollum from The Lord of the Rings as he perches on a rock. This contrasts beautifully against the mirror finish background. The opposite side of the coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

his coin is legal tender. It arrives in a quality coin case with a Certificate of Authenticity which also shows the coin’s unique serial number and guarantees the purity of the gold. A magnetised insert allows the coin to stand upright in the case for display. The themed outer box also has the coin image replicated in full colour on the base.

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait").

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II NIUE 25 DOLLARS 2022.
