Depicted Fungi:
Morel (Morchella spp.)
This springtime fungi has quite the reputation for inspiring excitement in foragers, ambition in chefs, and creativity in artists. Rooted in the hearts and tall tales of many, morels only grow wild due to their unique life cycles. Morels are elusive, but seem to bloom best in the face of adversity. There might be fey in your woods who know exactly where to find these woodland jewels. Be warned, we are not liable for forgotten names, stolen livestock, and/or abduction into the faery realm.
Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)
A vivid, toxic, enchanting icon of yore. It might be tipping its brilliant, red cap at you from the crunchy undergrowth of a forest floor in autumn, nestling in the ethereal green of storybook illustrations, shading frolicking fairies in 19th century oil paintings, or perhaps seating very smart aleck-caterpillars in classic literature. Don’t let this, or its appealing colors give you the wrong idea, fly agarics are the most forbidden of the fruits. They contain dangerous toxins, so best leave them to our slug friends to enjoy.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
