The dragon is the largest denomination monetary coin in the mythical realm of Westeros, in the times of King Robert Baratheon, about three hundred years after Aegon I Targaryen united the warring kingdoms of Westeros under one ruler. Westeros is the scene of events taking place in the series of novels by author George R.R. Martin now also an HBO miniseries winning critical acclaim. This piece has been struck on a planchet of 14 grams of red brass, 80% Copper and 20% Zinc, about 28 mm in diameter. The reign of Joffrey Baratheon takes place at the core of the tale as we enter it. He was the legal heir of King Robert Baratheon and assumed kingship at a young age upon Robert's “accidental” death. If you have not had a chance to catch any of George's novels, they are widely available in bookstores and libraries. The series is called A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE and currently there are six sequential novels out of a planned series of seven. The first is A GAME OF THRONES, which is also the title of the current hot HBO series based on the novels. This fantasy coinage is officially licensed through George R.R. Martin and brought to you by Shire Post, specializing in crafting strange and unusual artifacts from all over the universes for the purpose of making the fantasy come alive.
