The Mad King

Aerys II Targaryen, The Mad King, was the last Targaryen to sit on The Iron Throne. Late in his rule he became obsessed with fire, descended into madness, and was slain by Ser Jaime Lannister, hence Jaime's alias, "Kingslayer". This silver Stag denomination features Aerys on the obverse and a stag on the reverse, which represents the denomination for those who cannot read. A silver Stag is worth 7 stars or 56 copper Pennies, and 210 Stags make up one gold Dragon.
