| Additional information |
Part of New Zealand's officially licensed series tied to Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Hobbit, this dollar was released in 2012 to coincide with An Unexpected Journey — the first of three films shot entirely in New Zealand. The Reserve Bank issued the series as legal tender, a distinction that separated it from standard licensed merchandise, though few pieces ever saw a till.
