RR+: The NZ Post Collectables - the ‘Lord of the Rings’ 20th Anniversary series - and a critical reading of Serkis’ ‘Gollum’

As I recently mentioned for my first anniversary with Steady my first ever post in terms of content was a Roving Ranger Extra on the UK Royal Mint commemorative coins (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) on Tolkien’s passing in 1972.

This definitely was one of the opportunities for the collectors out there, and the slogan of Writer, Poet, Scholar made quite a few die-hard Tolkien fans’ hearts bounce, I am sure.

Now, when we look a little bit further away, a small island nation that has most certainly put its film-making skills on the map twenty years ago definitely needed to celebrate that achievement.

For three years in a row. Three films, remember? ☺️

But this would not be a Tolkienist post without a little digression…
