GM00 Silver Stag of King Aegon Targaryen I Coin – SP118.
This small silver “stag” piece is from the mythical realm of Westeros shortly after the unification of that land by the event known historically as Aegons Conquest. Westeros is the scene of events taking place in the series of novels by author George R.R. Martin.
This particular coin is struck on an increased-weight plancet of 1/10 troy ounce (3.1 grammes) of .999 pure silver, (earlier strikes were 2.4 grammes of .900 fine silver) about 21mm in diameter, done in the “high art” style with fine engraving and a stylized portrait of King Aegon, flanked by his two sisters (and wives) Rhaenys and Visenya. The king wears a crown with three dragons heads on it. The saying that “The dragon has three heads” refers to the fact that the three siblings ruled almost as one. The reverse of this piece shows a classic stag done in the Scythian style, and symbolizing the denomination of the coin… one “stag”.
