| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the effigy sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs to the left and COOK ISLANDS to the right, flanking the portrait in the upper field. The denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed in a straight line below the bust, with the date 2022 prominently displayed in the centre of the field below. The fineness specifications 0.5g FINE GOLD .9999 appear in the lower field, affirming the coin's precious metal content. |

| Additional information |
Part of the New Zealand Mint's ongoing licensed partnership with Warner Bros., this fractional gold issue draws from the extended commercial market for Middle-earth collectibles that expanded significantly after the Amazon *Rings of Power* release cycle renewed global interest in Tolkien properties. At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, it sits at the lower boundary of what modern minting technology can strike legibly — a practical constraint that shapes the entire sub-gram collector coin segment.
