About This Item

I won this coin as an FTS (First To Solve) prize for the mystery cache
Nötknäckarkalendern 2009-23 I väntan på..... by skattletaren (Pia).
It was published December 23 at 08:00 and solved May 8 at 18:10.
Thank you Pia for this very nice coin!

The mystery is called "I väntan på", which is Swedish for "Waiting for"
while the poem in the mystery is written by Viktor Rydberg and is
titled Tomten, which is Swedish for Santa. I simply put the pieces
together and gave this coin the name Waiting For Santa FTS Coin.

Viktor Rydberg (December 18, 1828 – September 21, 1895) was a
Swedish writer and a member of the Swedish Academy, 1877-1895.
Rydberg was one of the most important writers in Sweden during the
nineteenth century, next to C.J.L. Almqvist and August Strindberg.

The coin itself is an event coin for the then largest event in Sweden,
Fumble After Dark 2009 or simply FAD, organized by geocaching.se.
It's an annual night caching event in the west of Sweden since 2003,
lately accompanied by an event such as Fumble Before Dark 2009.
The coin was made using a standard Geocaching die from Oakcoins
called the Event Die and it was minted by them, sold at FAD to
sponsor the event and distributed by Geoshop Sweden.

Under en härlig cacherunda med mbit, Callanish68 och Ingabo upptäcktes denna i mbits hand i samband med en kort fikapaus på en av utsikts-punkterna på Björkö. Jag ser fram emot nästa runda med gänget.

Dropping off the coin in the mystery I got it for.
I'll let it stay here for a few days before travelling on.
