Not Lord of the Rings (I don't recall dragonflies featuring in that book/movie) but I think you're not too far wrong.
It's definitely in the style of a mediaeval silver coin, but I've never seen one quite like that - bugs weren't a popular design motif back then. I suspect it's a modern fantasy, made by the Society for Creative Anachronism or some similar back-to-the-past group.
The legend on the reverse (dragonfly) side is GVNTHR PRI REISA. I can't read the obverse inscription too clearly (the pic is upside down; it's either a picture of a guy in an odd hat reading a book, or some king of castle) but the last two words appear to be "OF DARKWOD".
A Google search for "Darkwod" or "Darkwood" reveals several possibilities including an SCA "armoury", but nothing definite.
