| Obverse description | The fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, is rendered in high relief facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The peripheral legend reads NEW ZEALAND to the left and ELIZABETH II to the right, with the fineness designation .999 Ag 1oz inscribed above. The date 2021 appears in the lower field, and the series inscription MIDDLE-EARTH is positioned along the lower rim. The coin's mirror-finish proof field provides a stark black contrast to the frosted portrait. |

| Additional information |
Issued by New Zealand Post rather than the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, this piece carries no legal tender status in any meaningful transactional sense — it is a licensed collectible sold directly to the public at a premium, with the face value a formality imposed by Niue, which licenses its sovereignty for exactly this kind of product. The Saruman entry in this Fellowship of the Ring series arrived in 2021 as part of a multi-coin program tied to the film trilogy's twentieth anniversary.
