Elfish Tengwar Coin

Description

This is a coin I designed to showcase elfish runes (tengwar). More images can be seen at
www.gregsonvaux.com

The translation of the text is "and the winter gave way to the spring". I had the shape of the two flowers make an overall S curse to mimic the shape of the individual letters, which also created a subtle yin-yang shape.

The text is part of a poem that I wrote in 2002

Also, in the word "spring", you use the "ng" at the end, but g is silent in that letter. The "ng" sounds more like a palatalised n (ny or ñ), so spring should have been written s+p+r+(i+n+g) where i is just the dot over the g letter with a ~ just below the dot and above the g letter. Exactly as you have done in winter with ~ for n over the letter t. Same method could be used for spring.
