Also known as Orodruin and Amon Amarth, the most famous mountain in J.R.R. Tolkien’s immensely influential Middle Earth fantasy setting is a seat of evil power most commonly called Mount Doom: the place where the One Ring of Power was forged and the only place where it could be destroyed. This feat was eventually accomplished by the hobbit Frodo Baggins at the culmination of the War of the Ring, recounted in the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and commemorated by an impressive bullion collectible from the New Zealand Mint.

The iconic location of Mount Doom was the throne of the Dark Lord Sauron through two different Ages of Middle-Earth in the books of J.R.R. Tolkien and found its first definitive representation on the silver screen in the groundbreaking New Line Cinema adaptations by Peter Jackson. This sinister, fiery volcano was both the source of evil’s might and its point of vulnerability, with both being tied to the fortunes of the One Ring of Power.
The 2022 Niue Silver Lord of the Rings Mount Doom Coin is pure silver with exquisite engravings whose details are brought out by a beautiful antique finish. It ships with a custom display case with official art, and a Certificate of Authenticity specifies the coin’s unique number in an exclusive limited mintage sure to be prized by collectors, fans, and investors alike.
The coin’s obverse side of the coin features the late Queen Elizabeth II in an official effigy, verifying its status as legal tender. She is surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE,” “TWO DOLLARS” and “2022.”
The forbidding, smoke-belching peak of Mount Doom appears on the reverse, as seen in the adaptations by New Line Productions and with the production company’s copyright and trademark appearing in a small inscription at the rim, along with confirmation of the coin’s weight and the purity of its silver.
