Hungarian Peacock Geocoin

Description

This is the second personal geocoin in Hungary.

"The Hungarian Peacock started out with a gingerbread mold carved by György Kövér, a very talented Hungarian woodcarver in Transylvania. The mold, or actually first my gingerbread was seen by another highly respected artist friend of mine, Endre Kis who said “this would be a good geocoin”. So, he quickly drew it for me. All I had to do is play with the colors. I came up with four different color versions. I wanted to emphasize the Hungarianess of the peacock, that is why I chose the colors used in some specific Hungarian regions on folk costumes and embroidery. I felt that the color extravaganza of the Kalocsa embroidery and the lush elegance of the Matyó folk art would go well with a peacock. As both György Kövér and Endre Kis live in Erdély, I chose the Székely color combination (black, red, white) to honor them. And there had to be a True Colors version, too, green and blue were just too nice to leave out.

After the success of the first edition I had to come up with a second. Four more color versions were born. With the second edition I did not tie myself to a theme, I just wanted to play freely. My family wanted to participate in the fun, so the Rainbow and the Night Glow were designed by me, the Autumn was designed my son, Bojta, and The Bright One by my muggle mother, Tutika."
