Compass Rose 2009 Geocoin
The 2009 Compass Rose Geocoin™ design comes from a mid 1600s Portuguese map of Brazil. It is made with translucent colors and multiple angles in the background. The names of each wind direction encircle the compass rose representing the cardinal and ordinal directions. You can interpret the direction names at the 5th Anniversary Compass Rose Geocoin™ page.
The backside image is an armillary sphere. Armillary spheres were developed a few hundred years before the birth of Christ, modified several times as new discoveries were made, and used until the late 1700s. Earlier models have the earth placed at the center of the universe, and then later models reflect the sun in the center of the universe. They were used for navigation, but not as effective as other methods. In addition, they also helped to understand the heavens. They were great at measuring distances in the heavens and tracking movements of planets, comets, and other objects. But notably related to our special coins, they were used extensively for training navigators. The armillary sphere design on this coin is from the same era of the compass rose used on the front side.

Text by Team van Stoffelen:
Rembrandt, son of Harmen van Rijn was born July 15, 1606 in Leiden. Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, his later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship. His drawings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime and his reputation as an artist remained high.
The Night Watch is the common name of one of his most famous works of this Dutch master and is more properly titled The Militia Company of Frans Banning Cocq. It is on prominent display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Rembrandt died October 4, 1669 in Amsterdam and outlived his wife and son. He was buried in a unmarked grave in the Westerkerk (Western Church) in Amsterdam. Het became on of the most prominent icons of the Dutch Golden Age.

Geocaching Animals: Edeltraud - the Sheep
Verkaufsstart: 15.10.2009
Idee und Design: myGeocoin.de
Beschreibung Coin:
Darf ich vorstellen: hier ist Edeltraud, das Schaf! Eines von vielen Tieren, denen Du sicher schon während einer Cachertour begegnet bist.
Die Idee entstand schon vor längerer Zeit, da wir große Tierfreunde sind und uns jedesmal freuen, wenn wir bei unseren Cache-Streifzügen den verschiedensten Tieren begegnen. Am häufigsten sind das in unserer Gegend Schafe, natürlich nicht einzeln, eher ganze Herden davon. Auf den Namen Edeltraud hat uns Cacherfreundin "A--Hörnchen" gebracht, die ihrem Plüschschaf diesen Namen gegeben hat ;-)
Die "Geocaching Animals" sollen eine Serie werden, in der künftig z.B. Kühe, Hasen, Rehe, Eulen und vielleicht sogar Schlangen aufgenommen werden sollen.

A tribute to caching dogs
Fast ein Jahr lang ist nun das Grünmonster schon als Coin unterwegs - nun wurde es Zeit, unserer treuen Begleiterin JESSIE ebenfalls einen eigenen Coin zu gestalten.
Diesen betrachten wir als Tribut an alle cachenden Hunde, bzw. all die vielen treuen Freunde und Begleiter von Cachern.
Deshalb trägt der Coin den Titel "A tribute to caching dogs".
Auch dieser Coin wurde wieder in Zusammenarbeit mit den Landsharkz, Canada, erarbeitet, wobei die Gestaltung einmal mehr mehrheitlich durch unseren jüngsten Sohn Marcel gemacht wurde. Der Coin wurde in einer limitierten Auflage von 300 Exemplaren hergestellt, Ausführung Antik Silber, mit drei Farben Email und einer eingedunkelten Struktur für den Hintergrund. Der blaue Himmel ist aus transluzentem Material.
Die einzelnen Exemplare sind fortlaufend durchnummeriert (1/300 - 300/300)
Es wird auf keinen Fall eine zweite Auflage dieses Coins geben.
Der Caching-Dogs-Coin hat ein sein eigenes Icon - natürlich einen schwarzweissen Hund.
So sieht das aus:

Text (by Team van Stoffelen):
The Groningen Stad En Ommeland Geocoin is dedicated to the city and the surrounding lands (the ‘Ommelanden) of Groningen. In the Middle Ages the surrounding lands frequently attacked the city of Groningen. They called themselves the Eala Frya Fresena, translated as the Free Frisians. On their part the city of Groningen frequently attacked the nobility on their strongholds in the surrounding lands. In 1594 the city of Groningen was defeated by the army of prince Maurits, count of Nassau and prince Willem of Nassau-Dillenburg. The last stronghold of the Spanish occupation in the North of the Netherlands was gone. The city and the surrounding lands were joined together.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt - und auch noch lange danach - waren Computer riesige Schränke, füllten ganze Büroetagen und waren weniger leistungsfähig als heute ein kleines Notebook.
Dies aber hielt J.F. Kennedy - damals erst wenige Monate im Amt als Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten - nicht davon ab, am 25. Mai zu verkünden:
"Die Zeit ist gekommen, einen Sprung nach vorne zu machen...Unsere Nation sollte sich das Ziel setzen, noch vor dem Ende dieses Jahrzehnts! einen Menschen auf dem Mond landen zu lassen und ihn sicher zur Erde zurückzubringen."
Da Geocaching noch nicht geboren war, nehmen wir es ihm nicht übel, dass er nicht die Fachbegriffe benutzt hat. Sonst hätte er sicherlich gesagt:
"Die Zeit ist gekommen, noch vor Ende dieses Jahrzehnts den FTF "Mond" zu machen."
Dies war der Start des Apollo Projektes.
24. Juli 1969:
Um 9.50 UTC landet die Raumkapsel von Apollo 11 getragen von 3 riesigen Fallschirmen im Pazifischen Ozean. Nach etwas mehr als 8 Tagen kehren die drei Astronauten nach erfolgreicher Mondmission auf die Erde zurück.
Genau dieser Tag jährt sich heute am 20.07.2009 zum 40. mal und war der Anlass zum dritten Geocoin Design.

Chris Mackey's Design Commentary:
When asked to take part in designing the Official PA Geocoin for 2009 I was delighted to be approached and then immediately concerned that I would do PA justice with my design. Being a particularly poor student of history, I had my work cut out for me. I began by narrowing down my target by concentrating on the region where I lived and by chance discovered some amazing facts, met some amazing people and had a life changing experience as well.
About ten minutes down the road the National Park System and U.S. Department of the Interior developed the Steamtown National Historic Site. It is the only place in the National Park System where the story of steam railroading, and the people who made it possible, is told. With a little investigation I learned to my surprise and delight that the first railroad in the nation began only a block and a half from my home and traveled over a mountain, through Fox's yard and all the way to nearby Honesdale, PA. It carried the coal that powered New York City and fueled the Industrial Revolution. The coal carried on these rails was transferred to the Delaware and Hudson Canal system where it went through the longest water-lock system in the world being more than twice the length of the Panama Canal!
I visited the D&H offices in Honesdale that now house the Wayne County Historical Society Museum (since 1939) and learned a wealth of information. The offices are another national landmark and attended by a wonderful staff of enthusiastic history buffs. I was thrilled to meet Nancy, the caretaker and historian in charge of the museum. After spending an afternoon learning the amazing story of the Lion, I finally approached the lead historian with my idea for the geocoin. Imagine my surprise when she told me her son is a Geocacher and thought it would be a great idea! The project was moving full steam ahead, but the surprises kept coming. A short time later Fox and I were invited to take a working model of the Lion out from the glass display case of the museum and operate it on an actual track near Lansdale, PA. Under the close supervision of the engineers, we were able to fire up the coal and had the boiler steaming in short order. Out onto the tracks and down the rails we went! The tiny scale model pulled Fox, his daughter and myself without the slightest hesitation. I could only imagine the awesome power of the real engine the first time it charged up the mountain.
This coin is a tribute to the legacy of Pennsylvania and it's debut of railroading in the United States. The lion should be a symbol of pride for every Pennsylvanian and I hope this coin represents that legacy with honor.
The coin itself is encircled by the tracks of the Gravity Railroad and the spokes are replicants of the original spokes on the coal cart pulled by the lion. The 180th Anniversary of the Lion is proudly displayed over the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's trademark shield. The face of the lion in it's traditional place on the face of the boiler challenges the task set before it as it claims it's place in the history of American railroading. Though much debate rages over the birthplace of American railroads no one can dispute the fact that Pennsylvania had the honor of being the first to pioneer the locomotive.
THE HISTORY:
The "STOURBRIDGE LION" was the first locomotive to run on a railway in America, and was operated between Honesdale and Seely's Mills in Pennsylvania on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's railroad, August 8, 1829.
On March 13, 1823, The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company obtained rights from the Legislature of Pennsylvania, authorizing them to construct a canal from the mouth of the Lackawaxen to the present site of Honesdale and also to construct a railroad from their coal beds at Cardondale to the head of this canal.
In January, 1828, Horatio Allen left New York for England and contracted for four locomotives, one of which, the "STOURBRIDGE LION," built by Foster, Rastrick and Company of Stourbridge, England, was shipped in February, 1829, unloaded in New York, May 14, and then taken to Honesdale, PA., arriving the later part of July, where it was placed on the track and prepared for service.
One of the Company's coal wagons was fitted up to serve as a tender and a box added under the boiler, built around the junction of the two exhaust pipes form the cylinders with the single exhaust pipe to the stack, from which water flowing form the tender was pumped into the boiler. This was probably the first feed water heater in America.
The name LION was suggested by the fancy of a workman, who painted on the circular front , the head of a fierce-looking lion in bright colors, covering nearly the entire area.
Early in the forenoon of August 8, 1829, the "STOURBRIDGE LION" was "fired up" with Lackawaxen coal and ready to go. It was run back and forth on the straight portion of the track by Mr. Allen and then set forth on its history-making trip, for it was the first locomotive to run on a railroad in the Western Hemisphere, covering a distance of about one and a half miles to Seely's Mills, where it was reversed and returned to its starting point.
The trial was a failure despite the beautiful performance of the Lion. The original specification for the locomotive had specified a maximum weight of 4 tons. The Lion and her sisters weighed in at 7.5 tons, nearly double the specified weight. The track made of hemlock rails with iron railcap with tie spacing of 10' between ties had been constructed for a much lighter locomotive and would not support the greater weight of the locomotives. Sadly, the Lion and her sisters were retired to other uses. The only remaining pieces of these locomotives are the boiler from the Lion and one of the cylinders from the America, both in the possession of the Smithsonian. All traces of the Delaware and the Hudson Locomotives disappeared after the locomotives had been delivered to Honesdale.

This is a really cool design with lots of detail and mystique, and REAL Swarovski crystals, which really give the coin life. Mr. Mackey has this to say:
When the Tempting the Fates project began we desired a coin that would put fear into the hearts of would be thieves. We called upon the denizens of the underworld to watch over these coins and strike retribution against their enemies. When the Fortune Favors the Bold project began we threw caution to the wind as humans often do and dared the world to do it's level best, but promised that nothing would deter our gracious nature to share our traveling coins. This time we call upon a much higher set of powers to protect our coins. With the aid of the heavens themselves (and you of course) our travelers are ready to quest forth and record their incredible travels around the world.
We begin with research, more research and yet even more research to find the keys to protecting our coins from the muggles and mishaps that plague geocoins. To our delight we found both the necessary keys and the heavenly guardians of all things geocaching along the way.
Our story begins with King Solomon in the 10th Century B.C. and his incredible story. When given the chance by God himself to have absolutely anything one could possibly desire like wealth or power, he instead chose wisdom and knowledge to rule justly over his people. The heavens answered by rewarding him with such knowledge as has never been known before or after his lifetime. Much of his knowledge has been recorded and among those records are seals of protection calling upon all manner of otherworldy creatures to aid man in his goals.
"Thus saith the Lord: According to thy word have I given unto thee a wise and understanding heart, so that before thee was none like unto thee, nor ever shall arise." - The Key of Solomon, translated into Latin from the Hebrew idiom
In researching we learn that there is an Archangel known to Solomon as being dedicated to presiding over treasures, protecting them from the eyes of would-be thieves and revealing treasures to those of pure heart who hunt their locations. This Archangel is Paraseil and his powers are beyond our comprehension. The seals required to call upon this powerful host are imprinted on this coin along with the seal known commonly as the First Pentacle of Jupiter. "This serveth to invoke the Spirits of Jupiter and especially those whose names are written around the Pentacle, among whom Parasiel is the Lord and Master of Treasures and teacheth how to become possessor of places wherein they are." - Writings from the Greater Key of Solomon. So be pure of heart and steadfast for this coin is a powerful talisman to the good geocachers of the world.
Among the many items left in the wake of King Solomon and his newfound knowledge was his personal signet ring. It is believed to have been another key in calling upon the heavens for aid and elements of it's design have also made their way onto this coin. Inscribed with what will become known as the Star of David, the ring is inlaid with four jewels and we bring those jewels to this coin as well along with the sillouette of Archangel Paraseil standing guard over this coin and all nearby treasures.
There are more goodies, symbols and secrets hidden within the design and some will be revealed over time in cointests to come while others you might just divine on your own. So Tempt the Fates with the denizens of the underworld if you dare. Find that Fortune Favors the Bold when you throw your fears aside and stride forth in your endeavors. The heavens watch over it all and The Seals of Solomon might just lend its protection to you and your caches if your heart is pure and your intentions are good.

The Cacher, Erger Je Niet! Geocoin (a.k.a. Cacher, Ärgere Dich Nicht Geocoin) is a tribute to the famous board game. This board game was issued in 1914 and sold over 60 million copies. Each player enters the circle at its player's start field, moves (clockwise) over the board and finally enters its home row. The first player with all of his pieces in his ‘home row’ wins the game. Pieces can jump over other pieces, and "throw out" pieces from other players. You’re not save until you enter your ‘home row’. The DNF (Did Not Finish) on the game board can be just as aggrivating as the DNF’s in a cachers life.

Crystal Compass Rose Geocoin
Born from the deserts of western Asia, the Crystal Compass Rose Geocoin™ is made of pure glass and is made available in three different shades of color. Each coin is individually cut from very thick glass. The coin features a compass rose design on the front side with text on the backside. The compass rose design is extensively sandblasted into the front side to provide a deep relief image for a quality feel. The coin is then put through a delicate hand polishing process to give it a crystal clear appearance. The hand polishing process provides numerous small, flat, and slightly refractive surfaces on the edge making each coin subtly different from another. Due to the large amount of hand labor that goes into making them, it can take anywhere from 5 to 8 weeks to complete a small batch of these coins.
The Crystal Compass Rose Geocoins™ are approximately 2" in diameter and 7mm thick. Each coin is trackable on Geocaching.com and the series has its own unique icon. The tracking numbers are engraved directly into the surface of each coin preserving its permanence.
* 2" diameter and 7mm thick.
* Made of pure glass
* Has a unique icon that shows on your profile when you log a discovery

Claudia:
Diese Coin ist für mich in vielerlei Hinsicht etwas Besonderes. Als ich den Auftrag bekam, eine Coin für das zweite MEGAEVENT in Deutschland zu designen, landeten zunächst 8 Entwürfe im virtuellen Papierkorb. Da der Name und auch das Motto des Events "Project .G.A.M.E" lautete und die Location ein historisch industrielles Ambiente versprüht, war mein Anspruch, den Look & Feel beider Gegebenheiten in dieser Coin zu verwirklichen: Das Spiel als auch den industriellen Charakter. Es vergingen Wochen...
Irgendwann kam mir die Idee, der Coin die Form eines Zahnrades zu geben und diese drehbar zu machen! Ja, ein Spiel daran zu knüpfen! Die Eventkümmerer waren von der Idee begeistern, also ... gesagt, getan. Der nächste Schritt bestand darin, ein Spiel zu entwickeln, das möglichst unkompliziert zu spielen ist, für Jung und Alt geeignet ist und auch noch Spaß macht. Es folgte ein regelrechter Reifungsprozess. Währenddessen erwies sich die Coin selbst als etwas schwierig, die ersten Muster waren nicht leichtgängig drehbar, und so wurde nochmal in Handarbeit konzipiert und weitere Muster in Auftrag gegeben. Auch die Erschaffung eines Spieles stellt man sich leichter vor, als es ist ;-)
Ich, mein Freund und unser Sohn (zusammen mit Freunden) haben stundenlang "testgespielt" und das Spielkonzept immer wieder verfeinert und ausgereift, bis die finale Version dann fest stand. Am Ende wurde die Zeit knapp und alle bangten, ob wir es überhaupt noch pünktlich schaffen! Und wir schafften es :-)
Bis zum letzten Tag haben die Eventkümmerer und ich das Geheimnis bewahrt, was es mit dieser Coin auf sich hat, wie sie aussieht und welche Besonderheit sie mit sich bringt.
Für alle, die keine Gelegenheit hatten, das Mega-Event selbst zu besuchen oder einfach auch diese Version haben möchten, freue ich mich, dass ich ab heute eine limitierte Anzahl meiner Sepp & Berta Artist Edition hier anbieten darf! Selbstverständlich streng limitiert!
