| Reverse description | Central device comprising the heraldic sigil of House Targaryen: a three-headed dragon rendered in high relief, with wings spread wide, three serpentine necks rising from a single powerful body, scaled limbs, and a coiled tail filling the field in a bold, archaic style evocative of medieval heraldry. The device is enclosed by a raised inner border, below which the denomination legend ONE DRAGON is inscribed along the lower arc in a gothic-style typeface. The surface exhibits deliberate antique patination that accentuates the relief contrasts throughout the design. |

| Additional information |
The Crownlands issued coinage in Rhaenyra's name during the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war of 129–131 AC, when she held King's Landing briefly and claimed the Iron Throne against her half-brother Aegon II. Two competing mints effectively operated during the conflict, each striking in the name of a rival monarch — making any coin attributable to Rhaenyra's faction a product of a government that lasted, in its fullest sense, less than two years.
