| Additional information |
Tauriel is not a character from Tolkien's source material. She was created entirely for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy — invented by screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens to address the near-total absence of female characters in the novel. This coin appeared alongside the 2013 release of The Desolation of Smaug, part of a broader New Zealand strategy to monetize the country's association with the Jackson productions, following the far more commercially successful Lord of the Rings coin programs of the early 2000s.
