Shire Post Mint Makes Handmade Game Of Thrones Coins

The family-run company has spent almost two decades hand-making coins and jewelry on vintage coin presses, using tools and techniques that are more than 100 years old

Many of Shire Post's creations are based on popular fantasy franchises and books, including Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

The artists at Shire Post consult closely with the authors or their estates to ensure that the coins are accurate to the setting and the creative vision

In addition to creating familiar works, Shire Post's involvement allows them to explore parts of each world that might not be portrayed in the books

For example, their most recent creation is line of coins for pre-Conquest Westeros, allowing them to depict aspects of George R. R. Martin's world prior to the events in A Game of Thrones
