| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief scene from Peter Jackson's film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Return of the King', depicting the climactic confrontation known as the Death of the Witch King. The composition shows the armoured, crowned Witch King of Angmar looming in the upper field, his antlered helm rendered with fine engraved detail, while a robed figure bearing a sword confronts him in the lower foreground. The city of Minas Tirith is visible in the background left, its tiered towers rising from the rocky landscape. A large scimitar-like blade sweeps across the upper portion of the field, adding dynamic tension to the scene. The denomination '$1' appears in the lower exergue, with a small copyright mark and engraver's signature to the right. |
