The immortal Elves of Middle Earth were among J.R.R. Tolkien’s most influential creations, a link to the earliest days of that fantastical world and very often on the front lines of the struggle against evil. They were known for creating enchanted refuges that often played a pivotal role in the stories of Tolkien’s heroes, the most famous of which is Lord Elrond’s domain of Rivendell. Also called Imladris, meaning “ravine,” this beautiful location was vividly realized for the screen in the Lord of the Rings movies by Peter Jackson, now celebrated by the New Zealand Mint’s 2022 1/4 oz Niue Gold Lord of the Rings Rivendell Coin.

The production team for the Lord of the Rings films used Japanese temples and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright as sources of inspiration for designing Rivendell. Filmed against the backdrop of New Zealand’s idyllic Kaitoke Regional Park, whose clear waters and green canopies provided an atmosphere of enchanted peace, Rivendell was an awesome spectacle for a generation of movie-goers who became fans of Tolkien’s Middle Earth through its presentation on the big screen.
The 2022 Niue Gold Lord of the Rings Rivendell Coin commemorates this achievement with high-relief artwork that’s sure to appeal to fans, collectors, and investors alike. JM Bullion fully insures each shipment, which comes in an official display case that carries a Certificate of Authenticity on the back, specifying your coin’s unique number in the mintage.
The coin’s obverse side features Queen Elizabeth II in an official effigy, confirming it as legal tender. It also bears the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “25 DOLLARS” and “2022.”
The reverse side features a high-relief engraved rendition of the film version of Rivendell. At the rim are inscriptions of the copyright and trademark of New Line Productions, along with verification of the coin’s weight and gold content.
