| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Harren Hoare, King of the Isles and the Rivers, facing right, rendered in high relief against a flat field. The effigy displays curly hair bound by a narrow diadem or fillet, with finely engraved hair strands radiating from the crown. The truncation is draped with a collar or gorget. The field is unlettered, with no surrounding legend, presenting a clean and austere portrait in the classical antique style. |

| Additional information |
Harren the Black completed his obsessive construction of Harrenhal in 2 BC (Before Conquest), the same year Aegon Targaryen's dragons reduced its towers to molten slag. Shire Post Mint's blackened finish on this copper piece directly references that burning — the scorched stone of Harrenhal's towers has never been fully repaired in the centuries since, left deliberately ruined as a warning.
