Part of a wave of licensed Tolkien fractional gold issues that flooded the market in the early 2020s, this piece was produced for New Zealand-based retailers capitalizing on ongoing interest following the Amazon *Rings of Power* release. Cook Islands has long served as a sovereignty-of-convenience for such issues — the nominal face value bears no relation to any circulating monetary system, and the coins are bullion collectibles in all but legal designation.
