Silver Ounce 2021 Lord of the Rings - Frodo Baggins, Coin from Niue - detailed information

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, bullion 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 - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). 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 shows Frodo Baggins.

The Mint says about it:
Courageous Ring-bearer, Frodo Baggins, is the main focus of this 1oz silver coin. On one side it shows the hobbit in colour holding the One Ring with loyal friends Samwise Gamgee and Merry Brandybuck engraved in the background. On the opposite side, the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II confirms the legal tender status of this dramatic collectible coin.

A precious reminder of the extraordinary The Lord of the Rings trilogy, each coin has a unique Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing the purity of the silver and the limited mintage of 3,000 coins. The coin arrives in a display-ready, quality coin case, which is placed inside a themed box showing the full-colour version of the coin image on the base. As one of the main protagonists of the trilogy, this coin for Frodo is bound to popular!
