| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-body chibi-style stylized depiction of Frodo Baggins, the hobbit protagonist of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, rendered in vivid color against the shaped flan. The character is shown standing facing the viewer, dressed in his characteristic dark brown and green travelling cloak, wearing the One Ring on a chain about his neck. His large, expressive teal eyes, furrowed brows, and flowing dark brown hair are rendered in the distinctive chibi artistic idiom. The flan itself is die-cut in the contoured silhouette of the character's head and body, making the coin's shape an integral part of the design. |
