This is probably my favorite coin so far. It looks amazing, it has cool writing, and it honors one of the greatest writers of all time.

A Tolkien token, if you will.

How do I obtain one of these if I’m American?

I believe it’s a limited edition British coin from The Royal Mint, they have a page you can shop for stuff on, though it seems to get a bit expensive with some of the options. Cheapest is an “uncirculated” coin, not sure what the physical difference would be.

Bought the uncirculated since it’s not crazy expensive, thanks!
