"NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST SCAVOK"
SCAVOK is a geocacher. (scavok.com)
Tengwar is a script which was invented by J. R. R. Tolkien. In his works, the Tengwar script, invented by Fëanor, was used to write a number of the languages of Middle-earth, including Quenya and Sindarin. However, it can also be used to write other languages, such as English (most of Tolkien's Tengwar samples are actually in English). The word tengwar is Quenya for "letters".
It was J.R.R. Tolkien who once said that "not all who wander are lost." What better philosophy for a geocacher? For us, the beauty is in the hunt, the search, the "wandering." The true prize is what you find along the way to the cache. Sometimes the journey is the destination.
Tolkien was an established polyglot and even created his own organized spoken and written languages to embellish the fantastical worlds he created. One of such languages is Tengwar, the writing on one of this coin's sides. It is a direct translation of the flip side. It is simply a reminder that no matter how you look at anything, whether you understand it or not, “there is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.” –Tolkien
