| Additional information |
Issued as part of New Zealand's licensing arrangement with New Line Cinema tied to the release of The Two Towers, this coin entered circulation in 2003 alongside a broader series covering characters from Peter Jackson's trilogy — all filmed domestically, which gave the promotion unusual national resonance. New Zealand Post managed distribution, and demand from collectors meant most examples were pulled from circulation almost immediately.
