+Team Van Stoffelen Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The samples of the Medieval Caching Geocoin are approved, and production has started. The Medieval Caching Geocoin is based on a original jeton of Dutch nobleman Hendrik, Lord of Bederode, dated 1566. Hendrik became a convert to the Reformed faith and placed himself at the side of the prince of Orange and Count of Egmont in resisting the introduction of the Spanish Inquisition and Spanish despotism into the Netherlands. In 1566 he was one of the founders of the confederacy of nobles who bound themselves to maintain the rights and liberties of the country by signing a document known as the Compromise of Nobles. On April 5 of that year Brederode accompanied to the palace a body of 300 Knights, for whom he acted as the spokesman, to present to the regent, Margaret of Parma, a petition setting forth their grievances. It was at a banquet at the Hotel Culemburg on April 8, presided over by Bréderode, that the sobriquet of les Gueux, or "the Beggars," was first given to the opponents of Spanish rule. Bréderode, the "Grote Geus" or big beggar, was banished from the Netherlands by Alva, and died in exile shortly afterwards at the early age of thirty-six. Jetons were token or coin-like medals produced across Europe from the 13th through the 17th centuries. They were produced as counters for use in calculation on a lined board similar to an abacus. Next to a couple of regular editions, there will be 4 available limited editions. The geocoin is 1.75”, had 3D on both sides and is trackable on geocaching.com wit hits own icon. The limited editions are expected at the end of may. foggy gold/antique silver antique silver/antique bronze antique bronze/antique silver burgundy glitter dark nickel/antique silver blue glitter If you want more information, just send me an PM.
