    Some sort of Lord of the Rings inspired token. The script is Elven, though I don't know what it says, and I'm not sure what the bridge or tree are referencing exactly. In Tolkien's lore, it was in Shire Year 1402 that Frodo took the ring and began his journey to Mount Doom.

    As a fan of the LOtR books, I think it's a pretty cool piece!

    If true, that's pretty cool. I've seen coins from many places but this is the first Middle Earth coin I've ever seen. :);):)
