1/2 Dragon - Stannis Baratheon

Issued under the authority of Stannis Baratheon as Lord of Dragonstone and claimant to the Iron Throne following the death of Robert I, the Half Dragon denomination sat between the copper Stag and the gold Dragon in the Westerosi monetary hierarchy. Stannis's Crownlands issues are historically associated with the siege economy of Dragonstone, where a besieged claimant with a depleted treasury turned to brass — a deliberate, cost-cutting substitution that his enemies at court were quick to mock as evidence of a thin claim backed by thinner coin.
