Theotokos Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It's been a long while since we did a coin and this is our latest effort - we hope you enjoy. This design has been bouncing around for a long while and it's taken many twists and turns on the way. In the end we wanted something more simple and to the point. There are currently two versions up on geocoinstore. We hope you like them. Antique Gold Antique Silver Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I saw it in the store last night and thought it to be a very nice geocoin. Love the compass design and the 3D. Please tell us about it and it's significance. Quote Link to comment

Theotokos Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) I saw it in the store last night and thought it to be a very nice geocoin. Love the compass design and the 3D. Please tell us about it and it's significance. No real story to it I suppose. I basically wanted something simple that represents where I live and the peace I find when out looking for a remote catch in the wilderness. I don't particularly care for 'urban' caches. Of course this coin was started long ago and due to health reasons I don't get out caching at all anymore. So I guess it's now a reminder for me of something I enjoyed very much. The Wind Rose (as per Wikipedia) "Before the development of the compass rose, a wind rose was included on maps in order to let the reader know which directions the 8 major winds (and sometimes 8 half winds and 16 quarter winds) blew within the plan view. No differentiation was made between cardinal directions and the winds which blew from said direction. North was depicted with a fleur de lis, while east was shown as a Christian cross to indicate the direction of Jerusalem from Europe." Some of the design aspects have special meaning to me and will remain a nice mystery of the coin Edited August 10, 2011 by Theotokos Quote Link to comment
