The single brilliant uncirculated coin features the fearsome Dragon, Smaug the Terrible, printed with selective colour.
Featured on this coin is the fearsome Dragon, Smaug the Terrible. A giant fire-breathing dragon who is as psychotic as he is greedy, Smaug’s vicious attack on Erebor shattered the Dwarf Kingdom and sent Thorin Oakenshield and his people into exile. For generations, Smaug watched over the piles of gold and precious gems hidden deep within the Lonely Mountain, threatening to rain fire and destruction on any soul brave or foolish enough to claim it.
