To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the theatrical release of the first installment of Peter Jackson's trilogy, the Monnaie de Paris will present a collection of precious gold and silver coins dedicated to the legendary saga of The Lord of the Rings in 2026. From the Shire to Mordor, the perilous epic 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.
In the heart of Fangorn Forest, Merry and Pippin encounter Treebeard, the ancient guardian of the woods and living memory of Middle-earth. Discovering lands devastated by Saruman's armies, the Ents' long-repressed indignation is reawakened, transforming centuries of patience into uncontrollable rage.
When the Ents march on Isengard, Merry and Pippin witness a turning point where forgotten forces remind us that even the most ancient beings can still choose to rebel to defend the balance of the world.
The reverse of this coin features the face value surrounded by two branches, one oak and the other laurel, reminiscent of the euro symbol. The entire reverse design is framed by the inscription "République Française" and a series of lines representing the outline of France.
