No mission. I'm sick of them going missing!
The Dwarven Treasure coins feature futhark runes. These ancient letters have been found on weapons and monuments throughout Europe and are believed by some to embody arcane powers. Many people are familiar with the runes due to their prominent use in Tolkien's books "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".
This is the "Forge Fire" edition. It features red, orange, and purple borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is well known for its ability to withstand chemical and thermal shocks which is why it is used in laboratory glassware. The finish on this coin is achieved by melting the glass directly onto the metal in a high temperature furnace which achieves the most durable finish available on a geocoin. It is so resistant to scratching that it cannot be scratched by a hardened steel blade. Glass on metal (commonly called cloisonne) is extremely durable so that if taken care of, can be expected to last for thousands of years. Cloisonne artifacts from ancient Egypt can be found in museums today, still looking beautiful. This coin is large at 2 inches in diameter and has a unique icon. The coin includes two ruby colored gems in honor of the Dwarves' love for gleaming treasure.
