| Obverse description | The coin features a raised octagonal inner border set within a round flan, creating a distinctive two-plane design. A detailed fruiting plum tree occupies the central field, its branches spreading symmetrically and bearing numerous small round fruits rendered in relief. The Shire year inscription in Tengwar script appears above the tree, while the numeral date 1402 is divided by the tree trunk and displayed prominently in the lower field, flanked left and right by small Tengwar characters. The recessed field between the octagonal border and the outer rim is plain and unadorned. |

| Additional information |
Shire Post Mint operates out of Arkansas and produces officially licensed small-run fantasy coinages, including pieces tied to Tolkien's world through agreements with Middle-earth Enterprises. These are struck by hand using traditional screw press methods, which accounts for the occasional strike variation seen across the series.
