| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic landscape scene depicting Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower of Mordor from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium as rendered in the New Line Productions film adaptation. The towering fortress rises prominently to the right, its serrated spires and claw-like pinnacles rendered in fine relief against a rocky mountainous backdrop. To the left, billowing clouds of smoke and fire fill the field, evoking the volcanic desolation of the land of Mordor. A fortified wall with spiked battlements extends across the lower middle ground. The copyright legend © & TM New Line Production Inc. (s22) and the specification 1/4 oz 9999 Fine Gold are inscribed along the upper border. |
