2026 22.18g France Silver 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 style guide for the film The Fellowship of the Rings.

This coin represents the beginning of our heroes' adventures. On the front, guided by Gandalf the Gray, the benevolent leader and protector of the Fellowship of the Ring, they leave the tranquility of the Shire (which can be seen on the map of Middle-earth in the background). They will meet the elves, legendary creatures who will ally themselves with them in their quest to destroy the One Ring, represented here by Arwen. Their journey will quickly take a dramatic turn at the turning point of the story, before the mythical gates of Moria, where Gandalf the Grey will disappear and the Fellowship will be scattered.

At the bottom, the words “Fellowship of the Ring” and the year complete the design.

The reverse of this coin depicts the One Ring, towering over the Eye of Sauron and enhanced by selective gold plating. The secret inscription on the Ring in Elvish is revealed here by the flames of Mount Doom. Each reverse 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 relating to The Lord of the Rings saga.
