Legolas is the fifth character to appear in our THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ Classic Coin Collection. The 1oz silver coin celebrates his horsemanship and courage in the face of battle, while the ¼ oz gold reminds us of his skill as an archer. In the case of the silver coin, the coloured image is offset by an engraved background featuring his battle compatriots, while the smaller gold coin has a wonderful background mirror finish. The legal tender status of the coin is confirmed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy on the obverse side.
As an Elf, Legolas had the abilities typical of his race, including taming unruly horses with only a few words and without needing reins or saddles. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers he was given a grey horse named Arod by the Riders of Rohan. He is shown astride Arod on this silver coin. Although Arod was a fiery and restive horse, Legolas skill as a horseman allowed him to easily tame the steed.
Legolas was also an incredible fighter who was able to extract an arrow from his quiver and fire it on target with blinding speed. This unique ability is represented on the smaller gold coin.
Both coins arrive in a display-ready, quality coin case which is placed inside a themed box. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with the coin’s unique serial number in the limited mintages – 3,000 for the silver and only 250 for the gold!
These are treasured collectibles for any fan, a reminder of the extraordinary characters created in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Aim to add one to your collection today!
