Honors are coins used in both Volantis and Meereen.
About
Volantis uses coins called "honors", which have a crown on one side, and a skull on the other.[1] The honors are little coins no larger than a penny.[2] Meereenese coins also include honors.[3]
History
The building of the Long Bridge was a tremendous undertaking, lasting over forty years and costing millions of honors.[4]
The Spotted Cat, a slave trained to fight in the fighting pits of Meereen, was sold for three hundred thousand honors before Daenerys Targaryen arrived in the city.[5]

In Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen sets a price of a hundred honors for information regarding the Sons of the Harpy. This reward is eventually raised to a thousand honors.[3]
