| Additional information |
Issued as part of New Zealand's official licensing agreement with New Line Cinema during the theatrical run of *The Return of the King*, this coin entered circulation in 2003 alongside a broader series covering characters from the Peter Jackson trilogy. New Zealand's direct involvement in the production — nearly all principal photography took place across the country — made the partnership a natural one for the Reserve Bank.
KM#137 is the standard circulation issue, not a collector proof, meaning examples did pass through tills and pockets during that summer release window.
