| Reverse description | A stylized royal crown is depicted in the center of the reverse, rendered in moderate relief within a beaded inner border that frames the central device. Below the crown, within a cartouche, the denomination '1/2' is inscribed. Surrounding the beaded circle, a continuous band of Tengwar script fills the outer field, running along the full circumference of the coin. The date '1402' in Shire Reckoning appears incorporated within the Tengwar legend at the top of the field. The design reflects the fantasy cartography aesthetic associated with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, with the Tengwar lettering applied with deliberate calligraphic precision. |
