+Landsharkz Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 A New Personal Geocoin for a Canadian Caching Family! This smiling blueberry shaped coin is 38mm diameter and 3.0mm thickness. Price is $9.00 each. Featured on the back are images of the characters Bleuet, Thinker Bell and L'il Sneezer. Bleuet (which is Blueberry in French) conspired with Chris to design and produce these coins as a surprise Christmas gift for his wife Thinker Bell and L'il Sneezer! Bleuet is also on Coin #1 of the Canadian Forces Geocoins, so this is his second time to see his name in metal, but a first as family coin! The blueberry that we've represented in metal is the same image as the one for the Blueberry Festival in Dolbeau-Mistassini, where Bleuet hailed from before joining the Canadian Navy and moving to Canada's west coast. Permission to use the Blueberry Festival's image was given by the Festival du Bleuet de Dolbeau-Mistassini The custom blueberry icon matches Chris' art for the coin. The coin is painted with imitation hard enamel paint on both the front and back and is available in black nickel or satin gold. Read about the festival here! Festival du Bleuet Quote Link to comment
