Hi

 

these will became available soon. They are allready in the mint.

We will mint 300 in polished gold, and they are all pre-sold to portuguese geocachers.

Do you have a trade list? I would love one of these, but have very little traders at this time. So maybe if I knew what to look for, I could pick up something you'd trade for??

 

Hi RR

 

you're on my list.

 

PL

 

ps. sent a packge yesterday :rolleyes:

I'm interested in a trade too.

Please inform me if you are willing to trade with me.

If not I have to find another way to get one of these.

 

Hi Pooh

 

i put you on my list. Thank you

Sorry to inform that they won't go for sale. They are all pre-sold to Portuguese geocachers. I'm guessing some will do trades. PLnauta is gathering your interest. I'm sure he'll pass by the information to other portuguese cachers that will have some extra.

 

And yes, sure is a nice coin!

Wow thats a great reception for this regional geocoin.

 

I've done allready a list fot rades, and will make a link in the portuguese forum to here. I think it will be possible to everyone intersted to get one.

Hi Paulo,

 

Could you let us know the significance of the pictures? I think I see the Portugal coat of arms. What is the building and significance of the flowers?

 

Thanks.

Tom

You're absolutely right, at the center it's the Portuguese Coat of Arms, as it is on our Flag. Around, there are six Almond Blossoms. The Almond tree is very common in the region of Algarve. It's part of typical landscape. It's very well represented in the coin.

 

February is the month of the Almond Blossoms, check more info here: www.visitalgarve.pt

 

Back:

 

In white, it's a typical chimney of the houses in Algarve, as you can read here.

The district of Algarve is represented in green. That's its shape. And in the background, yellow round shaped, it's the Sun that shines almost all year round.

 

The outcome of the coin is very, very good.

 

Kudos to Billy of VespaFriendsAlgarve for the all concept and original idea. Kudos to Rui Almeida, from Kelux for the excellent artwork.

 

We're proud of this coin and proud of how Algarve is so well represented in geocaching. Defintely, a must visit region in Portugal. :blink:

Hi,

 

As Paulo said, there will probably be enough coins around for trading and keep everybody happy :D

I will have a few, so let me know if I can help you.

 

Cheers,

Antonio

:D I opened the Pandora's box, its so nice to see other portuguese cachers and geocoin collectors around.

 

By the way, thats a good theme for a geocoin, something like

 

"The Pandora's cache Geocoin, if you go for it be prepared for the addiction!" :P

Seem´s like somebody wants a new coin to be produced :anibad: .

Kidding, but, i agree. It would make a nice coin. Acasim, that´s a new logo isn´t it? I believe that´s the first time i see it.

Anyway, i will have some of these coins available for trades later on as well as some Spanish geocoins and some Portugal 2007 geocoins. I have already some trades set up with 2 or 3 geocachers (Serge, don´t go out and buy any of these coins without talking to me first :D but there will plenty available for trades.

Thanks to all for GC like this only to point out that the 16 ***** represent the councils of the Algarve

Hello

 

There's more on Europe than VAT :wub: and IVa :P and taxes :lol: and customs, and ... ;):wub:

 

Now there is a new geocoin. I finally receive mine and i'm ready to send them to those I agree in trades.

 

I ask these fellow geocoin collectors to send me their address: Droo, Rockin Roddy (i know that if i search through old mail i should find your address :) ), MsTeamPooh, BlueMotmot and ChrisGun.

Don't worry on what to trade, made a suggestion!
