"Nun Bestellbar: Tranquility GEOCOINS
Nach einem Monat Pause, präsentieren wir nun stolz unsere neuste Coin! Wir sind sicher, dass sich die lange Wartezeit gelohnt hat. Was als einfache 1,5 Zoll Geocoin anfing, entwickelte sich zu einer unglaublichen detailreichen 2 Zoll 'Tranquility Geocoin'. Erdacht durch Paula (CinemaBoxers), entwickelte sich die Coin von einem einfachen Konzept zu dem was wir euch heute vorstellen.
Ein großes Kunstwerk!
Zusammen mit den Details, die sofort erkennbar sind, gibt es eine Vielzahl an weiteren Details, welche nur sichtbar sind, wenn man die Geocoin in Händen hält. Diese Coin visualisiert unseren Spaß am Geocachen und zeigt Sachen, die wir an der frischen Luft erleben während wir draussen sind. Zuerst war der Spitzname für diese Coin "Earth-Geocoin", jedoch passte der Name nicht, um den ganzen Details und versteckten Elementen gerecht zu werden.

Castle Man said (Sept. 7, 2007 in forums.groundspeak.com):
"Available here: Tranquility GEOCOINS
We are proud to present our newest Geocoin offering after a month long 'hiatus'! We believe this coin was well worth the wait. What started out as a concept for a 'simple' 1.5" coin, evolved into the 2" incredibly detailed 'Tranquility Geocoin' Designed by Paula (CinemaBoxers) the coin developed from a simple concept into what we present to you today!
A HUGE BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART!
Along with the elements that are easily visible in the photos is a multitude of details that can only be seen with the coin in-hand. The coin celebrates why we all enjoy caching and features some of the things we encounter when spending time in the great outdoors. We had nicknamed this coin the 'Earth' coin, but it just was not a fitting name for all of the included details, and 'hidden' elements.
The coin measures 2 inches x 3.5mm thick, and has incredible details and textures - too many to list, but so many to discover."
