+geotrowel Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Forgot to mention, you only have until 15 November to get one of these coins! They probably won't be available again after that, unless C&P decide there's enough demand. Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 I also forgot to mention that if Coins and Pins sell enough of these coins, there will be an icon associated with it on geocaching.com Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 There's not long left to pre-order on of my new Camulodunum coins. I think it may be as soon as Thursday! So hurry and order yours now! The coin's size is 1.75", it's available in antique bronze, antique silver and polished gold, and is trackable on geocaching.com. If enough sell, there will be an icon. The design is based on several ancient Celtic coins minted in Camulodunum (modern day Colchester, UK), around the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. It's meant as a tribute to the wonderful artistry of the Celtic people and their cultural legacy. Here are the links! http://www.coinsandpins.com/product_info.p...products_id=529 http://www.coinsandpins.com/product_info.p...products_id=523 http://www.coinsandpins.com/product_info.p...products_id=528 Pictures below! Hurry, there's not much time left! [/img] Quote
+Eartha Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Merging duplicate threads. Please remember, one coin, one thread. Quote
+Eartha Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Bumping this thread, because the merge didn't refresh it for some reason. Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Not long left now! And if Coins and Pins can sell a few more, there'll be an icon! Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Apologies to everyone that's been confused by my multiple posts. I didn't realise that there was only one post per coin … sorry. Quote
+vw_k Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Awesome looking coin, In there area where my girlfriend and I cache there is a chalk hill carving called the Uffington White Horse which is believed by some to date from the Roman/Iron age. The coin reminds me of this carving so I just had to order one! Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I just checked out the info on the coin in the link and I have to say WOW!!! THAT is how it should be done! Every question that came to mind was answered in the wonderful write up and I've learned some new things through a coin once again. Thanks for you hard work, your research and your contribution to this crazy world of coins. Really, well done Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks VW_keychain! I've been to the Uffington White Horse (actually I was on my honeymoon!) and I have to say, although I hadn't thought of it, there is a certain resemblance. I wonder if the horse was a common symbol of freedom throughout Iron Age Britain? I'll have to look into that a bit further! Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 And thank you very much for your kind words, fox-and-the-hounds. Even though I am interested in that period of history, I spent a bit of time on research and background to make sure I had things right before I sent off the write-up. Glad you like it! Makes it all worthwhile! Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 Very little time left now, pre-sale closes Saturday 15th! Quote
+geotrowel Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 With a very short time left on these coins now, I'd just like to thank everyone that has taken the time to look at, or buy, one or more of them. Thank you very much, I appreciate it! geotrowel Quote
+vw_k Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Geotrowel, The horse was very important to Celtic peoples and may have had social, cultural and religious significance as well as being used as a working and fighting animal. I'm looking forward to my coin arriving, do you know a date when they will be shipped yet? Dave Quote
+Chur Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 my Camulodunum coins arrived today! They are absolutely beatiful, thanks for this nice design, I like this historic theme! Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 i received my coin this week and it is really stunning! rsg Quote
