In addition commemorative stamps, NZ Post has announced a limited-edition run of special-edition coins to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The film was released in December 2001 and kicked off what would become one of the most successful and popular movie franchises ever.
The silver coins are available in sets of three, including The Fellowship, A Shadow in the East, and The Quest of the Ring. Anyone can order them right now before they launch on November 19.
NZ Post Head of Stamps and Collectables, Antony Harris, said he expects the coins to be highly sought-after by people not just in New Zealand–the home of The Lord of the Rings–but globally. “We are expecting a lot of interest from around New Zealand and the world as these coins are released to mark a milestone in the history of such an iconic film,” Harris said.
