| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', showing the hobbit characters Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee rendered in high relief against the fiery, volcanic landscape of Mount Doom. The figures are portrayed in a moment of peril, with the volcanic mountain looming in the background amid swirling flame and shadow. The design is executed in antique finish with fine engraved detail. The legend ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL arcs around the upper field, with the copyright notice at the base. |
