Castle Man 2008 Geocoin

Beschreibung

I decided to get my new personal geocoin out early to celebrate my 2nd anniversary as a Geocacher (Jan 3, 2006). I found my 3600th cache during a trip to Las Vegas in early January and hid my 217th cache on the Nevada/California border during the same trip. I also released my 300th traveler on the trip. So, lots of milestones hit, and this year I wanted a coin with as much glitz as possible to celebrate the fun and enjoyment that geocaching and geocoins have given to me. I personally designed this coin using my actual family crest and coat of arms from Ireland with a few of my own special modifications on the shield and the name crest. On the opposite side I drew out a castle using different German Castles as a reference and then added some traditional Celtic designs and enhancements. So, I hope I captured a balance of my heritage (½ Irish, ½ German) in this geocoin. The castle side is minted in 3-D with incredible details and a hard enamel finish on the outer ring. The opposite side (family crest) is also in full detailed hard enamel with a textured background bringing out every intricate detail of the design. I minted 6 different editions: (Antique Gold, Antique Nickel, NORTH AMERICAN CUSTOMER Only Black Nickel, Nickel LE (50 minted), Gold LE (50 minted) and a special EUROPEAN CUSTOMER ONLY Antique Copper edition). Every coin is trackable at geocaching.com and comes with 2 unique icons. The European ONLY edition will come with a Purple Velvet Pouch as a bonus. The European ONLY and North American ONLY editions are LIMITED to ONE per customer as are the LE Editions. I have never minted geographical specific geocoins before but since trading seems to be such a popular part of our coin sport I hope this will help you all get some good trading going back and forth across the pond.
