New Zealand Post is honoured to present The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King™ - the third and ultimate collection in a stunning stamp series that has been acclaimed by collectors and Tolkien fans around the world.

At a time of frightening uncertainty, amid an epic struggle between good and evil, a band of individuals must reconcile their fates. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King™ tells the story of how courage, commitment and determination can lead even the least of us to change - and even save - the world.

Legolas - 40c

Although the Fellowship that set forth from Rivendell has dwindled to but three, still the friendship that binds Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli holds strong. Elf, Man and Dwarf hold to each other through hardships and peril in spite of the differences that have estranged their kindred.

Frodo™ - 80c

In the final days of the War of the Ring, the fate of all Middle-earth rests with Hobbit Frodo Baggins. Now on the final leg of his long journey, Frodo and his ever-loyal companion Sam approach the ashen land of Mordor, home of the Dark Lord Sauron.

Merry and Pippin™ - 90c

The young Hobbits Merry and Pippin are almost overwhelmed by the scale of the dangers around them. In such hard times and against such great odds, it is hard to imagine what difference they can make. Yet their hearts are strong - their only wish is to help their friends and do what they can in their aid.

Aragorn™ - $1.30

The last descendant of ancient kings, Aragorn is fated to claim the long-empty throne of Gondor in Minas Tirith, should he prove himself worthy. It is a future he never wanted. Aragorn's true heart's longing is not for glory in war, nor riches or power, but only for the love of Arwen, daughter of Elrond.

Gandalf™ - $1.50

As the spectre of darkness grows over Middle-earth and Sauron's armies issue forth from the Black Gates to lay siege to the lands of Men, Gandalf knows that in this war, victory cannot be won by force of arms alone. All hope now rests with the success of Frodo's quest, and to that end the White Wizard marshals the forces of the free peoples in a desperate bid to distract Sauron's gaze from his own lands.

Gollum™ - $2.00

Named for the foul gurgle he makes in this throat, Gollum is a pitiable and wretched creature, enslaved by his desire for the One Ring. His need for it drives him relentlessly, corrupting his mind and twisting his tiny body into a mangled, sinewy echo of his former self.
