Silver Kilo 2021 The Witcher - Blood of Elves, Coin from Niue - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits. In tiny letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

The portrait is small and placed on the right side of the design. The rest of the surface is taken by ornaments and symbols related to the famous saga.

On a ribbon above, the inscription KAER MORHEN, the name of a stronghold which is the headquarters of the Witcher school of the Wolf guild. Below the inscription is the entrance gate to the stronghold. The mountains in Kaedwen are placed in the background. An agate stone insert represents the gate of the fortress.

Around below, the legend of the monarch, date of issue and face value: ELIZABETH II NIUE 2021 50 DOLLARS are followed by the hallmark Ag 999 (99.9% silver).

The reverse shows the scene of Ciri's training in Kaer Morhen. She was training on a "pendulum" - this was an obstacle course on which all witches trained. Besides Geralt, Ciri was also trained by Vesemir, Cöen, Lambert and Eskel. The witchers taught Ciri how to fight, while the sorceress Triss Merigold made sure Ciri understood magic. An agate stone insert represents the window of the fortress.

Around above, the inscription BLOOD OF ELVES.

On a ribbon around below, the inscription THE WITCHER BOOK SERIES.
