Description

The Witcher III Blood of Elves 2 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2021

The Witcher – Blood of Elves

Blood of Elves is the first novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher saga. Geralt of Rivia hides and trains young Ciri at Kaer Morhen, while the Northern Kingdoms prepare for war with Nilfgaard and the elven Scoia'tael commandos roam the forests. The coin is the third release of The Witcher Book Series, in which each coin is another volume of the saga.

Coin design

The reverse shows a dramatic battle scene at a broken wagon train – wagons, arrows and warriors in the heat of combat. In the foreground the witcher shields two young figures, and red accents of blood add menace to the scene. A coloured wagon wheel in wood tones catches the eye. High relief and an antique finish bring out every detail; ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI and BLOOD OF ELVES run along the top, with THE WITCHER BOOK SERIES at the bottom.

The obverse pairs the portrait of Elizabeth II (NIUE 2021, 5 DOLLARS, Ag 999) with a Gothic portal entwined with roses and a medallion with a squirrel – the sign of the Scoia'tael. On the right are the witcher's two swords, and at the bottom his wolf medallion.

Packaging

The coin comes in a wooden box with a colour cover from The Witcher Book Series, together with a certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea

For a fan of Andrzej Sapkowski's saga, the games and the series about Geralt of Rivia, a collector of fantasy coins or a lover of Polish literature. The coins of the series look wonderful side by side – like the volumes of the saga on a shelf.
