Mithril Coat

Item from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A shirt of mithril rings — light as a feather, hard as dragon-scales, worth more than the entire Shire, given by Bilbo to Frodo as the most practical gift in hobbit history.

Also known as: the mithril coat, mithril shirt, mithril mail, Bilbo's mail-coat

What They Know

• The coat was a gift from Thorin to Bilbo during the Quest for Erebor
• Its value exceeds the worth of the entire Shire — it is priceless in the literal sense
• The coat stopped a cave-troll's spear in Moria — Frodo would have died without it
• Mithril is found only in Moria (Khazad-dûm) and its mines are now orc-infested and Balrog-haunted
