| Additional information |
New Zealand's reserve bank has issued legal-tender collector coins themed around the works of J.R.R. Tolkien under licensing arrangements that tie into the country's long association with Peter Jackson's film adaptations, shot across the New Zealand landscape. This piece belongs to a series exploiting that commercial relationship. Charles III's first official portrait as monarch, sculpted by Martin Jennings and adopted across Commonwealth coinage from 2023, appears here in its earliest New Zealand applications — Jennings' effigy replaced Jody Clark's Elizabeth II portrait following the Queen's death in September 2022.
