Shire Post Mint

Tom Maringer began making coins in 2003 for George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Since then, Shire Post Mint has grown into an internationally recognized company known for attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship, all while still being super nerdy!

Shire Post Mint aims to keep traditional coinmaking alive. Designs are hand-engraved into tool steel, then hardened, and mounted into an antique coin press, where they are struck into solid metals such as copper, bronze, silver, iron, brass, and niobium. The coins are antiqued to perfect the patina and give them a lovely softness in the hand.

Their work and process have been featured on PBS, TIME.com, Art Insider, GEEK.com, and more.
