Royal Mint's "Game of Thrones" Coins Become a Hit

The Royal Mint has unveiled a new collection of 50-pence coins celebrating the 15th anniversary of the popular television series "Game of Thrones." This marks the first time the British mint has issued coins inspired by a TV show. The collection draws on the series' core themes of ice and fire, featuring designs that include the Night King, depicted in color with blue eyes, and Daenerys Targaryen's dragon, shown in color against a map of the Seven Kingdoms. Each coin's reverse side bears the effigy of King Charles III. The coins are available in both colored and uncolored silver versions, as well as single-color silver and gold. Prices vary significantly, with a standard cupronickel coin costing £15 and a colored version priced at £27.50. Silver coins, limited to 7,500 of each design, cost £92.50. The most coveted items are the gold coins, with only 100 of each design (ice and fire) minted, each retailing for £2,420. "Game of Thrones," based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series, premiered in 2011 and has garnered a massive global following. Fans can order the coins now, with deliveries expected in autumn 2026. This follows the Royal Mint's recent release of a coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the British Grand Prix, highlighting Formula 1.
