| Additional information |
Issued as part of New Zealand's official licensing arrangement with New Line Cinema during the theatrical run of The Return of the King, this coin belongs to a broader Lord of the Rings commemorative program that ran across all three film releases from 2001 to 2003. The Royal Mint struck the series for New Zealand Post, which handled distribution — the coins were never intended for circulation and went directly into collector packaging.
The KM#266 reference places it among dozens of distinct issues from the same program, several sharing identical specifications but assigned separate catalog numbers by subject.
