AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about various old school fantasy role-playing games (Classic D&D and AD&D, Call of Cthulhu, BRP, Elric!/Stormbringer, MERP, etc.) and a few newer ones (Mythras, Crypts & Things, 5e D&D, Adventures in Middle-Earth, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
New Zealand, the backdrop of sweeping cinematic scenes from “The Lord of the Rings” and the upcoming trilogy “The Hobbit,” is issuing a series of Hobbit coins.
...
It looks pretty much like a gold coin but with a rim inscribed, in both English and Dwarvish, with the words ‘Middle-earth – New Zealand.’
Well, they sold out New Zealand's labour laws, so its not surprising that the national mint was thrown in as an extra.
ReplyDeleteI dearly hope they become known as "BrandyBucks".
