Lord of the Rings - 1 Oz Silver Collector Coin

From the Shire to Mordor, the perilous journey of the Fellowship of the Ring is now immortalized in metal, celebrating the mythic saga that has become a true pillar of the fantasy genre.

The motifs on these coins were created by the engraving workshop at Monnaie de Paris based on illustrations from the Lord of the Rings saga.

One ring is depicted in the centre of the coin; sparkling and golden, it draws all eyes and arouses desire. This element is emphasized by the high relief combined with the selective application of gold and bronze.

Throughout the story, Frodo struggles to resist its influence. Gandalf himself warns him not to be tempted by this object of power, to which he could all too easily succumb. Gollum, who has gone mad from the power of the Ring, will try to obtain it at any cost. The Wizard King of Angmar, long lost in the service of Sauron, seeks to recover the Ring and return it to his master. Behind the Ring is the Eye of Sauron, who sees everything from his hiding place in the desolate lands of Mordor.

The reverse of this coin depicts the One Ring towering over the Eye of Sauron. The secret inscription on the Ring in Elvish is revealed here by the flames of Mount Doom. Each reverse side is stamped with the coin's denomination, the hallmarks of the Monnaie de Paris, the letters RF (French Republic), the year 2026, and New Line Production's copyright for the Lord of the Rings saga.
