S. mirian n. “Gondorian coin” (Category: Money)

S. mirian, n. “Gondorian coin” (Category: Money)
A Gondorian coin mentioned in drafts of The Lord of the Rings appendixes (PM/45). It is likely related to mîr “precious thing”. Vyacheslav Stepanov suggested it might be an adjectival formation from an otherwise unattested verb *miria- “to esteem, value”, so meaning “a thing valued”.
