Copper Penny of Balon Greyjoy

This piece has been struck on a handmade planchet of ~2 grams of pure copper, about 20mm in diameter, using the same dies also used for the silver stag. While it appears late in the story, it is designed in an older traditional “country” style with a stylized portrait of Balon Greyjoy, declaring himself Lord of the Iron Islands in defiance of the crown held by Joffrey. Balon wears a crown and holds an axe and a great pearl, signifying that he wields sea-power. The reverse shows the Kraken, sigil of House Greyjoy, the great sea monster capable of pulling ships to the bottom and feeding upon their crews. This particular piece has been “circulated” such that is has some toning and wear on it, emulating coins that have passed through many hands.


Made from 2 grams of pure copper. This is a replica coin from Game of Thrones.
