The Witcher has been a huge hit with fans, but Geralt’s musical tribute, “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” has somehow become an even bigger success.
Ever since The Witcher’s Jaskier picked up his lute and started merrily serenading Geralt on his travels, we’ve been completely unable to get “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” out of our heads. At a certain point, we just stopped trying!
Luckily, great art inspires great art, and many other bards have picked up their own instruments of choice to create unique covers of the criminally catchy song.

Jonny Lovato’s rock rendition
Once you hear this rockin’ cover of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” you’ll wonder why the song was ever sung any other way. It’s like Jaskier wrote the song to be performed with this strength and sound. The instruments and strong vocals highlight the epic nature of what’s come to be Geralt and The Witcher’s theme song perfectly.
Samuel Kim and Black Gryphon’s epic remix
Make sure you stay with this one to the end because the grandiose closing music will transport you right into the middle of one of Yennefer’s most powerful moments. It seems like Samuel Kim and Black Gryphon have taken Joey Batey’s vocals from The Witcher and substituted the lute for the instrumental backing that the song deserves.
Dj-Jo’s genre bending cover
Dj-Jo blends Hindi musical flavors with a gradual and seamless transition to dubstep and EDM for a truly unique version of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher.” It seems like this song never stops moving between genres, but it’s a journey that you’ll find you’re destined to take again and again.
JJD & Revelationz Hardstyle Remix
We’ll admit, we kind of wanted to hate this club-style remix of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” but when that beat dropped, we couldn’t help but fall right along with it. This version should be the new staple for any dance club worth its salt.
Leo Moracchioli’s growly goodness
Leo Moracchioli’s cover of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” is one of the longest on this list because he really takes matters into his own hands in the middle of the song. If you’re into the death metal genre or just generally like screaming in music, definitely give this one a try.

Celestial Aeon Project’s string-filled song
Celestial Aeon Project’s acoustic version of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” is one of our favorites because it feels so characteristic of The Witcher and its time period. The strings, guitar, and angelic vocals come together to create a song that would surely bring even the hardest Witcher to tears.
Frozen Silence’s keyed cover
This simple and haunting piano rendition starts slow and draws you in quickly. It’s a beautiful cover of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” that you could listen to all day.

Like Jonny Lovato’s rock rendition, Dan Vasc’s heavy metal cover feels perfectly natural to the tone of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher.” It’s the version that Jaskier would have created in the future with his touring garage band.
Celestial Alignment’s low key lullaby
Celestial Alignment’s version of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” has a gorgeous music box quality that will either lull you into a peaceful sleep where you dream about Geralt’s happiest day or make you nostalgic for your own music-box memories from childhood.
