| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing profile at centre, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the neck. The peripheral legend reads 'NEW ZEALAND' to the left and 'ELIZABETH II' to the right, with 'MIDDLE-EARTH' inscribed along the lower arc. The fineness and weight notation '.999 Ag 1kg' appears above the effigy, and the date '2021' is positioned below. The rim is selectively gold-plated, providing a striking contrast to the mirror-finish silver field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed proof relief depicting all nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring from Peter Jackson's cinematic adaptation, set against a colour-printed mountain landscape background in shades of blue. The four Hobbit companions — Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin — are shown prominently in the foreground, while Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir, and Gimli appear in the upper register. The central design is framed within a scalloped cartouche outlined in selective gold plating. The outer border bears the inscription 'THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING * 20TH ANNIVERSARY' in the upper arc, rendered in a Tolkien-inspired runic script alongside Latin lettering, with 'TWENTY DOLLARS' inscribed in a polished lower panel. Additional Tengwar and Dwarvish rune inscriptions encircle the inner border, adding thematic authenticity to the design. |
