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
