| Obverse description | A stylized pine tree occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with symmetrical branching fronds extending from a central trunk rooted at the bottom of the inner circle. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, beyond which a circular Tengwar legend runs along the full periphery of the coin. The overall style evokes medieval coinage, reminiscent in composition of early American pine tree coinage. |
