+woejam Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) New on the Geocoinfest in Cologne: Hannibal Geocoin You might know the story: Hannibal was a military commander from Carthage. During the 2nd Punic, war he went over the Pyrenees and Alps to fight the Romans where he used elephants to help him...... He managed to occupy parts of Italy for a time, but was defeated by the romans again lateron. Watch this short movie: The Geocoin is 2" high and has very detailed 3D elements on front and back. At the event, there will be 3 versions available: antique bronze, antique silver and antique copper. After the event, there will be 3 more versions with soft enamel coloring. The Geocoin is trackable at geocaching.com and with its own icon. woejam Edited September 29, 2011 by Eartha Quote Link to comment

+woejam Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I should have know this would popup. If you search google, the 'other' option will probably be more available. But I'm more into history, although I think 'my' Hannibal wasn't such a friendly person too. Maybe not a cannibal, but still..... woejam. Quote Link to comment

+woejam Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Finally, the RE versions arrived. All models are now available here. There is also a collector set available with all 6 models. For some reason, I cannot add a picture here of the collector set.....
