Backstory via Shire Post Mint:

Worshipers of the Many-Faced God, the Faceless Men are a guild of from the Free City of Braavos identifying as servants of death who end suffering by bestowing the gift of death. Their home, the House of Black and White, contains a shrine to various incarnations of the Many-Faced God, including the Black Goat of Qohor and the Stranger within the Faith of the Seven. Jaqen H'ghar gave this coin to Arya Stark which indicates association with the organization of the Faceless Men. While not accepted as payment the Coin of the Faceless Man does gain its bearer access to service and reserved hospitality.

Minting process

Treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated, this process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two are exactly the same. 

Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history and facts about the coin.
