Compass Rose Geocoin 2005
The Compass Rose Geocoin was first developed in the summer of 2005. This series is a tribute to compass navigation before the age of the GPS. The designs used are based on actual compass roses used on sea charts, land maps, and compasses before the GPS was developed. Sometimes we have added a little geocaching flare to the design.
It was also to be a new kind of trackable geocoin available to the geocaching community when a large selection of trackable geocoins were not as readily available. However, in the midst of the first production run, the limitations on trackable geocoins were lifted and a flood of new geocoins came into the market.
Some people have confused the intent of the Compass Rose Geocoin concept as that of a design competition; however, this is not true. Its concept was born to pay tribute to the navigational achievements of our world explorers, travelers, surveyors, and cartographers who used the compass to navigate and provide accurate maps of the world.

Compass Rose Geocoin 2006
Featuring a compass rose of Spanish origin from the late 1500s. This is an elaborate design. Details of the images in the compass points were created to be under the translucent colors. This was the first time translucent colors and the underlying design effect was used on geocoins and it started a new trend influencing many future geocoins which used translucent colors. We added the colored ring around the compass rose to add more detail and give it more of a nautical look. The colored ring features an underlying texture design which reflects light in a unique pattern.
The backside uses the standard full color Geocaching.com logo, but this time we moved the custom etching area from the front to the backside so people can personalize their coins.
