An amazing product!

It’s difficult to imagine topping the authenticity of these coins. They’re so individualized, with such attention to detail, that holding them conveys the very real impression of being transported away — of a fantasy realm made real and just out of sight. Repeat-purchaser, and will likely purchase from again!

More Hobbit collection goodness

SPM continues to work their magic for these Shire haypennies. A pretty affordable set as well.

Hobbit set #4

Another great set. I have several and every one is different. I have some that have a purplish and bluish tint to them and others that look like shinny copper or dark brown shades. They are small around a US dime but they are packed with details and look fantastic.

Etsy Review

I have ordered a few different coins from him and as always fast shipping, well crafted pieces, and a great addition to any collector of sci-fi and fantasy props and stuff.

Each order comes packed with a handwritten envelope sealed with wax straight from Shire Post Mint! Unless changed, we will hand write the name of the person listed in the Shipping Address.

If ordering a gift or if you'd like to customize your handwritten name, please include the recipient's name in the Personalization Options field as you complete your order.

One envelope is included in your order, if you would like to purchase additional handwritten Gift Envelopes, you can find them here.

Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.

We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
