2026 0.50g France Gold Lord Of The Rings PP

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cinema release of the first chapter of Peter Jackson's trilogy, Monnaie de Paris will unveil a collection of precious coins dedicated to the legendary Lord of the Rings series in 2026. 

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

The engravings on these coins were created by the engraving workshop at Monnaie de Paris based on illustrations from the visual styleguide of the film The Two Towers.

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

The theme of the heir to the throne of Gondor is one of the central themes of the saga. 

It is depicted on this coin with, on the obverse, the sword Anduril, the Flame of the West, which appears in the foreground of this design. Surrounding the sword are elements of the coat of arms of Gondor, such as stars, crowns, and in the background the majestic White Tree of Gondor, a symbol of royalty (Andúril was forged from the fragments of Narsil, the sword of the Kings of Gondor, which was broken thousands of years ago during the battle between Sauron and Elendil. Despite Sauron’s defeat, the line of the Kings of Gondor was broken, and it would be many years before the throne was once again occupied by a legitimate king).

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