| Additional information |
Issued under a licensing agreement with Warner Bros., this coin was part of New Zealand's extended collaboration tied to Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy, which began production in the country in 2011. New Zealand leaned heavily into its role as Middle-earth's filming location during this period, and the Reserve Bank issued multiple collector series accordingly. The coins were legal tender in name but produced exclusively for the numismatic market.
