3 Gram Samoa Silver Lord of the Rings Note

Among all the fictional and mythical worlds that have ever entranced readers and moviegoers, perhaps none has been more influential than J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, which pioneered much of the genre of high fantasy as we know it today. The most magisterial of his works, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is now commemorated by an officially-licensed silver note with a face value: the 3 Gram Samoa Silver Lord of the Rings Note is available from JM Bullion.

Coin Highlights:

• Comes in a Lord of the Rings-themed envelope inside protective blister packaging!
• Third silver note in a new series!
• Sports proof-like visuals, with colorization on the reverse side!
• Limited issue of only 20,000 notes!
• Contains 3 Grams (.09645 Troy oz) of .999 pure silver.
• The face value of 1 Dollar (WST) is fully backed by the Samoan government.
• On the obverse is Queen Elizabeth II.
• The reverse features the One Ring of Power for which The Lord of the Rings is named.

The third issue in a series of silver notes dedicated to celebrating worlds of the imagination pays tribute to a trilogy of books that influenced generations of writers and creators. The Lord of the Rings gave rise to an entire subgenre of fantasy that was inspired and shaped by Tolkien’s vision. The early years of the 21st century saw these books finally find a successful cinematic adaptation in the hands of Peter Jackson.

The Samoa Silver Lord of the Rings Note provides frosted designs with mirror-like fields and features gorgeous colorization on its reverse side. Its proof-like visuals and striking artwork are sure to make it a valued addition to any collection, and it ships fully insured in a themed envelope, encased in protective blister packaging. Its face value is backed by Samoa and is legal tender despite its lack of an issue date, which is a nod to its timeless subject matter.

The obverse features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the classic design that adorns Commonwealth currency all over the world. The image is accompanied by the Samoan coat of arms and the inscriptions “SAMOA,” “AG .999 3G,” and “1 DOLLAR.”

The reverse features colorized artwork of the One Ring of Power seen in the book trilogy, along with English and Elvish inscriptions of the famous quatrain associated with that artifact and the title inscription “The Lord of the Rings.”
