Shire Shilling - THE SHIRE™ - .999 pure silver

THE SHIRE™ Silver Shilling

One Shilling from The Shire struck in 1/8 troy ounce of .999 pure silver. This coin is available in four possible trees: pine, elm, willow, and oak. Text is inscribed in Tengwar.

This coin from the world of J. R. R. Tolkien is struck from solid .999 silver, measures 2.4 cm in diameter, and weighs 5 grams, or 1/8 of a troy ounce. Coin artwork and engraving by Greg Franck-Weiby.

The coin is treated to look as if it has been handled within its world. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science. Coloring and patinas will vary. No two coins are exactly the same! Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history, translations, and facts about the coins.

Note—Each order comes packed with a handwritten envelope straight from Shire Post Mint. We will make this out to whomever is on the SHIPPING ADDRESS. If you are giving this as a gift and would like a different name on the envelope, please include the recipient's name in the Special Instructions field as you complete your order.

Shire Shilling

I bought this the Shire Shilling to complete a set of 4, and boy this did not disappoint! This .999 pure silver coin had a wonderfully weathered appearance as though it had been handled by dozens of Shirefolk during their everyday spending). The detail of the coin is sharp and intricate and the Tengwar writing bordering the periphery of the coin give the genuine feel of having originated in Middle-earth. Complete with an information card that details the forging of the coin. A must have in any Middle-earth numismatist‘s collection!
