Mint of Gdansk Takes Coin Collecting to New Heights

There are beautiful silver coins and figures made for The Witcher throughout the years, but what if you could have an all-in-one collectible? Our friends at Mint of Gdansk have taken their coin design to new heights with a series of figurine coins.

Just like their first series of coins based on the books, the coin figurines will come in two different weights: 5oz and 1kg with a limited supply of 1,000 and 100, respectively. While it may not be adored with beautiful stones and gold inlays that we’ve seen in the 2019 and 2020 coins, the level of detail in the figure itself makes this series of coins one to watch.

Geralt won’t be the only character being represented. The series will include 12 figurines, released each year. Together they will form a unique collection: 8 figurines represent the next volumes of the Witcher saga and 4 figurines represent the main characters from the saga. Here is the release plan:

  1. Geralt of Rivia, White Wolf (2021)
  2. The Last Wish (2022)
  3. Sword of Destiny (2023)
  4. Yennefer of Vengerberg (2024)
  5. Blood of Elves (2025)
  6. Time of Contempt (2026)
  7. Buttercup/Jaskier (2027)
  8. Baptism of Fire (2028)
  9. The Tower of the Swallow (2029)
  10. Ciri (2030)
  11. The Lady of the Lake (2031)
  12. Season of Storms (2032)

Edward Rowe, the Kernow King, Cast as King Henselt

Season two has continued to film since Henry’s hamstring injury, and the actor is wisely taking things slow during recovery. In the meantime, there seems to have been a royal addition to the cast. According to Redanian Intelligence, actor Edward Rowe will be playing the role of King Henselt.

Rowe, who has a few roles under his belt (Bait, Kenrow King’s Poldark), and if he seems familiar to some it might be because of his alter ego, Kernow King. He will be in two episodes directed by Ed Bazalgette—episodes five and eight.

Jodie Turner-Smith Joins the Cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin

While we wait with bated breath for more news about both The Witcher and its prequel series, Blood Origin, we just received word about a new cast member joining the fray. Jodie Turner-Smith, known for notable roles in Queen & Slim, The Neon Demon, and Amazon’s upcoming Without Remorse, will join The Witcher: Blood Origin as the role of Éile. 

Éile will be an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen's guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption. We love this interesting take on a bard-type character, and we certainly welcome more musically-inclined roles after the much-loved Jaskier. Given Turner-Smith’s demand and her powerful talent, we are very excited to see her take on this new role.

The Witcher: Blood Origin will be a six-part, live-action limited series, and a prequel to the hit Netflix series The Witcher. The series will be set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, and will tell a story lost to time - the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.

Declan de Barra will act as Executive Producer and Showrunner and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich will act as Executive Producer for the series. In addition, Andrzej Sapkowski will serve as creative consultant, and Jason Brown and Sean Daniel from Hivemind, and Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko from Platige Films will all serve as executive producers.

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun, reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it.
