The stranger reached into his jerkin once more and pulled out a round medallion on a silver chain. It pictured the head of a wolf, baring its fangs.
The image above showcases Geralt with a single sword on his back, complete with a scabbard which enables the sword to be drawn from that position, a feature which standard scabbards do not support.
Been looking online for book quotes (seeing as this is based on the books and not the game) and came across this one which could explain the design choice
Although I have seen other descriptions where it's in the shape of a wolf head, but it does seem like Geralt has owned several different medallions.
wait for it to come out before getting on the "OMG they got this detail wrong, literally unwatchable" train.
If the show is good and manages to do the source material justice, great. If not then grab your pitchforks.
.It's not hopping on a train if they consistently derail it and ruin the show.
You also contradict yourself. "this got this detail wrong" then go on to say "if they manage to get the source material justice great"
NOT getting this easy tiny detail ISN'T giving the source material justice.
This is also not the first thing they screwed up either. Every time news comes out they release it's just another thing that ruins the show.
Everyone was excited for the show. It was the easiest thing in the world to do. Literally every gamer was going to watch it. ALL they had to do was make a simple story and nail Geralt's actor. That's it. They managed to ruin the latter and then if they can't even get the details of a simple medallion right it doesn't inspire confidence into the story.

Where is his silver sword? The witcher carrys two swords silver for beast's and iron for humans, if thay cant even get that, then i dont have much hope for this tv show. :huh:
I could be wrong here, but I was told that in the books that the steel sword is on Geralt's back and that the silver sword typically stays on Roach.
Most monsters can be handled with Steel in the series, so why carry the silver one at all times? The games changed that by making steel for people and silver for all monsters. For gameplay reasons it also makes sense to carry both at all times.
The books imply both are true because they aren't consistent. He also faces less monsters in the books which is why he usually has it on roach. But...
It's also difficult to tell. Half of the books feature Geralt without any gear. Just a basic crappy sword because he lost it all. But before that he did indeed carry two swords. There are multiple instances of both having two and not having two. It seems to me it's whatever the plot desires.
Though in Season of Storms in the beginning of the book he is carrying to swords and some Guardsman notice him and instantly recognize a person with 2 swords as a Witcher.
But as I said it's not consistent.
