Middle Earth™ Wayfinder in solid Copper
Not All Who Wander Are Lost
- One solid copper coin (18.1 grams)
- 1.27" inch (32.2mm) diameter, 3mm thick
- Expert patina to highlight the engraving
- Satisfying reeded edge
With the greatest dangers of The Wild defeated by generations before, the Fourth Age of Middle-earth is much safer, yet adventure is still there to be found for those willing to go forth and seek it.
Depicted on one face of this coin is Elessar™ (Aragorn as the crowned King) with the phrase in Westron: “Not all who wander are lost”. The obverse side depicts Arwen™ with the same phrase written in Elvish—Sindarin inscribed in Tengwar.
This wayfinder token may be used as a decision-making aid during a wanderment by tossing it in the air. Both sides feature an arrow to convey that there is direction in wandering which may not be apparent at first glance. For instance, if facing a crossroads, whether a literal or internal struggle, one may remind themselves of the truth that not all who wander are lost, and recall all those who have wandered before, and all who shall wander after them.

Our Process
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.
