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!
