| Reverse description | Detailed high-relief depiction of Treebeard, the Ent from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings,' occupying the left and centre of the field, his ancient bark-like face and gnarled limbs rendered with fine sculptural detail. A hooded figure is cradled within Treebeard's outstretched arms, referencing the meeting scene from the film adaptation. The tower of Orthanc rises prominently in the right background, its tiered stonework finely engraved against a darkened field suggesting night sky. A crescent moon appears in the upper field. The denomination '$1' is inscribed in the lower centre of the field. |
