New Dale Silver Daler of EREBOR™
100 Years After the Defeat of the Tyrant
"So snow comes after fire and even dragons have their ending!" This large coin, struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 pure silver, was minted 100 years after Bard the Bowman killed the tyrant Smaug. Bard was accorded a 1/4 share of Smaug's hoard in silver, so it is fitting that the centennial Daler for the Death of Smaug be made from from silver recovered from the hoard. The coin shows a masterfully engraved scene with the archer and the dragon above a burning building. On the reverse is The Lonely Mountain and the town of New Dale that Bard helped to establish. The engraver spent an incredible 340 hours creating the intricate images. The text is inscribed in Tengwar.

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.
