Description

The Witcher V Baptism of Fire 2 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2023

The Witcher – Baptism of Fire

Baptism of Fire is the third novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher saga. The wounded Geralt sets off south to find Ciri and gathers an unusual company on the way – the archer Milva, the bard Dandelion, the Nilfgaardian Cahir and the mysterious Regis. The coin is the fifth release of The Witcher Book Series, in which each coin is another volume of the saga.

Coin design

On the reverse, the archer Milva in a feathered hat draws her bow with a gilded arrow that crosses the whole coin. Geralt's companions stand behind her, and a copper-coloured horseshoe stands out in the centre. In the background are a forest, a wagon loaded with sacks and figures on the road. High relief and an antique finish give the scene depth; ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI and BAPTISM OF FIRE run along the top, with THE WITCHER BOOK SERIES at the bottom.

The obverse pairs the Public Seal of Niue (NIUE 2023, 5 DOLLARS, Ag 999) with a banner bearing a burning horseshoe, a cauldron over a fire, a sleeping cat, horses and a wagon, the witcher's two swords and 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.
