The front of the coin shows a Wonder gecko (Teratoscincus scincus). Breeding these animals is one of scincus' hobbies besides geocaching.

This is the official event geocoin for the fourth annual #geocaching I.R.C. Poffertjes event (GC1AA6A), held on 6/14/2008. So far this coin has only been sold at the event itself and hasn't been available elsewhere.

The coin uses transparent elements to reproduce a 'stained glass' effect. Together with the rest of the design this results in a coin with a style typical for the early 20th century.

There are 250 coins produced, including a very limited quantity in an antique gold finish, which were only available for the crewmembers who made the event possible.

The front of the coin shows the colors of the Almere. In the middle there is a picture of a 'koggeschip'. These elements can also be found in the coat of arms of the city of Almere.
De back shows a reference to geocaching and the coordinates of the city-hall. De colors in the rim are the same as used by geocaching.com.

There are 250 coins produced in total.

Geopatra′s CacheDorado

2 inch (5 cm)
Thickness:

Finish:
Shiny gold, silver and copper
Color:
Soft enamel
Designer:

Trackable:

This is a set of 3 coins!

This is Geopatras personal geocoin, just one of a kind. Then we are talking about both Geopatra and the coin. Geopatra placed over a 100 caches in his 'CacheDorado'

As he writes himself on his website: It is my goal to ask attention for all spots near 's-Hertogenbosch, which I think they are worthy of showing, it can be places, area's, but also buildings and objects. Mostly in combination with information about history, animals and plants, etcetera. This leeds to a package of geocaches in an area, which I call CacheDorado, that brings opportunities to all geocachers by walking, biking, motorcycling or car.

The coin is one of a kind because the 'Geopatra' (the toadstool at the front of the coin) is made of PVC. The combination of these materials is, as far as we know, never used before on a geocoin.

sahasrara-geocoin



kaum aussprechbar: sahas-raara. das ist sanskrit und bedeutet soviel wie 1000 blütenblätter.
ein geometrisches muster, das aus kreis- bzw. elipsensegenten dreiecke entstehen lässt.
das muster kann den eindruck eines flimmerns machen.
insgesamt sind 1116 dreiecke auf der ersten seite vorhanden. es wären noch etwas mehr gewesen, die aber leider aus technischen problemen nicht machbar waren.
in der mitte ist ein fake-edelstein eingesetzt.
die produktion dieser münze ist leider recht aufwändig und deshalb etwas teurer.
die xxle-edition wird 32 farben haben, so viel, wie noch auf keinem geocoin. diese wird aber erst im frühling 2009 rauskommen.

theBIGbadman Geocoin




This great little traveler is made to look great and reduce cost for a genuine style geocoin, and is trackable. Designed by theBIGbadman, he included aspects that represent his area very well. Here is what he had to say:I wanted my first coin to represent my hometown of Chicago - where I live, work, and of course cache. I started with the SKYLINE of CHICAGO in silhouette - one of the most recognizable skylines in existence today. The background is representative of the flag of the CITY of CHICAGO. The flag is composed of two horizontal blue stripes, which represent the two branches of the Chicago River, four red stars which represent 4 major historical city events, and the three white stripes of the background which represent the North, West & South side's of the City of Chicago. I also included the six story "Landmark" neon "CHICAGO" sign from the famous CHICAGO THEATER and of course, my geocaching name "theBIGbadman".

Ft Sumter Benchmark Geocoin




The coin is designed as how Fort Sumter originally looked when it was built as three stories tall. The front side is the layout of the first floor. It has a canon compass to show the direction the fort was built. Three red gemstones show the placement of all three benchmarks in the fort. ERIN benchmark is actually located about 40 feet away from the fort, but was placed next to the fort on this coin to prevent the coin from being too large. The backside of the coin shows the top level of the fort as it looked before the Civil War. A 3-D image of the flag pole stands in the middle along with an image of a canon.

To see where this fort is located, click here on this Google Map.

Permanence Geocoin - Guidelines Series






Dimensions 1.75 inches

Thickness 3.5mm

Finish Antique Brass

Enameling None
Trackable? Yes

Has Icon Yes


Second in our Guidelines series. A reminder to everyone: While this coin technically "sets in stone" the guidelines as written today - guidelines change over the years and it is very important for everyone to re-read them prior to posting a new Geocache.

This part of the series showcases the "Permanence Guideline" which requires that all caches placed be intended to have a permanence of at least 3 months under typical circumstances.

The guidelines, of course, go into more detail about this requirement. You can read some of the text of the guidelines on the reverse of this coin as an immortal reminder of the key component to the guideline.

For the more studious of you out there, you can view the full text of the guidelines at this web page:
