| Obverse description | Central depiction of Melkor (Morgoth), a winged demonic figure with horns and an imposing, menacing stance, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The figure's outstretched wings flank the design, with detailed feathering and a serpentine tail visible below. Cirth script inscription appears at the base of the design within the lower field. The overall artistic style is bold and fantastical, consistent with Tolkien-inspired iconography. |

| Reverse description | Central motif depicting a stylized horned crown, rendered in simple incuse or low relief lines against a plain field, representing the Iron Crown of Angband. Three horn-like projections rise from the crown's upper edge, with decorative dots adorning the band. A Cirth script legend is positioned below the crown in the lower field. The design is deliberately austere and angular in style, evoking the dark, archaic aesthetic of the fictional realm. |
