Today sees the debut of the second issue in the New Zealand Mint’s new ‘Game of Thrones’ range. The range kicked off last month with a coloured medallion carrying the banner of House Targaryen, the family soon to star in their own television show ‘House of the Dragon. For the second release, we have a wholly more unusual piece, eschewing the use of colour, or of depicting one of the many banners of the various houses.

The Three-Eyed Raven is a form of the greenseer able to see into the past and the future, guiding the forces of good against the Night King. His symbol is a raven with a third eye placed centrally and above the usual two. Cleanly struck, this issue features that raven on the reverse face, and on the obverse sits the inscription ‘ALL MEN MUST DIE’, under which is the official logo of the show.

These are medallions, so carry no denomination or country of issue, but in most respects, are similar to the mints many coin releases. Struck to a proof finish, this is an ounce of 0.999 silver in weight, and comes very nicely presented in a themed box. At 35 x 35 mm, they’re a good size. Available right now, it has a mintage of 3,000 pieces.
