| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a richly detailed scene from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, depicting the archer Bard, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, and the dragon Smaug set against the backdrop of the Lonely Mountain (Erebor). Inscriptions rendered in the Tengwar and Cirth scripts of Tolkien's invented languages are incorporated into the design, adding authenticity to the fantasy theme. The overall composition is executed in a highly illustrative style befitting the literary subject matter. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Orange Free State ceased to exist as a political entity in 1902, absorbed into the British Empire following the Second Boer War. Its revival here as a nominal issuing authority is a legal fiction exploited by private minting houses to attach a territorial name to fantasy pieces with no connection to actual South African monetary history. This coin was never legal tender, never issued by any government, and the "Orange Free State" attribution is commercially motivated.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at this weight puts it well below the silver content of any genuine bullion or collector issue from a recognized mint.
