The engraving for this coin was carried out by the engraving workshop of the Monnaie de Paris based on illustrations from the graphic charter of the film The Fellowship of the Ring.

Thus, this coin illustrates the climax of the entire story, where the adventure ends but paradoxically all seems lost.

OBVERSE

On the obverse, Frodo appears overwhelmed by the journey he has already completed, but fearful of Sauron's growing hold over him through the Ring. Reaching the end of his quest, even as he glimpses Mount Doom, he realizes there will certainly be no journey back. Sauron's lidless eye, perched atop the tower of Barad-dûr, ceaselessly watches the progress of our heroes.

REVERSE

The reverse of this coin depicts the One Ring, overlooking the Eye of Sauron and enhanced by a selective gold plating. Its inscription, written in Black Speech and traced in Tengwar, is revealed here by the flames of Mount Doom. Each reverse is engraved with the face value, the mint marks of the Monnaie de Paris, the mention RF (French Republic), as well as the year 2026 and the copyright New Line Production relating to The Lord of the Rings saga.
