THE SHIRE
The Shire is the abode of the Hobbits. We are pleased to offer these
hand-struck coins of The Shire. The
Farthings (also known as Hlokarpeni) are struck in brass and come in
four varieties, each featuring
a different tree, representing the four different compass
points.
The Pine Tree is for the North, the Elm is for the East, the Willow is
for the South and the Oak tree is for the West. The letters on one side
of the coins are the elvish compass point letters, and they and the
trees represent the four 'farthings' or quarters (i.e. geographical
divisions) of the Shire. The play on the double meaning
(monetary
and geographical) of 'farthing' is deliberate and very Hobbitish. The
coins are
dated S.R. 1404 and have a mintage of only 200 pieces each. The bright
copper Hay-Penny or Half Penny is dated S.R. 1404 and features an Elm
twig. The
copper Peni (penny) or hlokartharantiin is dated S.R.1404. It
features a tree on one side and legends in the local language
on
the other.
It has an estimated mintage of 2000 pieces weighs approximately 3.1
grams and has a dark finish.
The copper 3 Pence is dated 1402 and features a plum tree. It
weighs approximately 8 grams and has a dark finish.
