In 2019 just before the start of the Netflix series, The Gdańsk Mint, in cooperation with author Andrzej Sapowski, announced the premiere of a collectible coins inspired by each book in the series. In tandem with the second season, the company has revealed their second coins in the series inspired by The Sword of Destiny.

Just like the previous release, there will be two limited edition coins in limited supply: 2,000 pieces of the 2 oz coin and 200 pieces of the 1kg coin. Both have their own distinct scenes from the story and have been meticulously designed to appeal to fans of the Witcher in any genre.

The 2oz coin is described as follows, “The Queen of Brokilon - Eithne, Princess of Cintra - Ciri and dryad Braenn. In the chalice there is the Water of Brokilon with special powers. Drinking water by Ciri is supposed to influence the fate of the girl and other characters - she can stay in Brokilon or follow her destiny. In the background we see Geralt killing a scolopendromorf - a monster living in the woods.”

There is also beauty in the details: The Witcher's sword was plated with pure gold and the chalice is made of hand-polished, multilayered 3D glass, in which gold flakes were sunk. The obverse is decorated with ornaments and symbols related to the Brokilon Forest, Geralt’s swords, and the symbol of the School of the Wolf.

The second coin is a whopping 1kg and made of the purest silver. Because to the 3.6mm height, there is an incredible amount of detail to admire. The reverse shows a scene of a dragon fight from the story of the Sword of Destiny (the Golden Dragon named Borch Three Jack Daws in the show). Agates on both sides of the coin represent the sun, and the obverse included the Polish name of the dragon: Villentretenmerth.

The 2oz coin will sell for approximately $375 USD (1,399.00 PLN), and the 1kg for $3,720 USD (13999.00 PLN). Should you wish to toss a coin to your favorite Witcher fan, it would be wise to preorder soon as last year’s coins sold quickly.

Covid-19, aka the Corona Virus, has reared it's ugly head yet again as four cast/crew test positive for the virus. According to deadline.com, the cases are not with any of the lead cast. The current cast and crew who have not tested positive, have been asked to go back into quarantine. They will await new test results and allow the production company to do a through sweep of the set to clean any areas that might have the virus. While this isn't great news, we do appreciate how fast the Netflix has acted and taken control of the situation. It would appear that the new guidelines for combating the virus in the filming industry are reacting fast to infections. This marks the second time the show has had to take a pause, the first time was in March when new season 2 actor, Kristofer Hivju, tested positive.

While this isn't the news we want to hear, it does make us feel better knowing how swift the show's response has been and how Netflix continues to value safety over production during the pandemic. Share your thoughts in the comments below or in our forum! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter!

The UK is once more going into lockdown in order to try to curb the spread of COVID-19, but don’t worry, the filming for the second season of The Witcher will continue, according to a statement made by Henry Cavill on his instagram account: “England returns to Lockdown on Thursday so it is time for me to depart Yorkshire and The extraordinary North, and head back down South to continue shooting in the studio. Thank you for hosting all of us on season 2 of The Witcher. Hopefully I shall return to your hills, dales and fells soon. Stay strong and stay safe, my friends.” This hopefully means that there won’t be any other delays as filming continues.
