Current Goal

The Vincent van Gogh Geocoin was designed by Mr. Van Stoffelen Sr. The below shown information related to the geocoin were taken from his website: "huiberst.info".

Van Gogh Self-Portrait with Straw Hat 1887Vincent van Gogh Geocoin

Vincent Willem van Gogh lived from 30 March 1853 till 29 July 1890. He was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Design

The Vincent van Gogh Geocoin is round shaped, has a size of 1.75″ (approx. 44 mm) and was a co-design by geocachingshop.nl and Van Stoffelen Sr. This is the first geocoin designed together with the geocachingshop.nl which is located in Nuenen in the province of Noord-Brabant in The Netherlands. Vincent made several paintings in Nuenen which led to the idea of this geocoin.

The front of this geocoin is designed after Vincent’s 1885 painting ‘Wheatfields with stokes and a Mill’. This mill is in fact the Roosdonck mill, which is still in use. Nearby this mill a geocache can be found. The other side of the geocoin is designed after a self-portrait of Vincent.

Geo-Dragonchild stelde zijn geocoin verzameling ten toon tijdens het SAKE2016 event. We hebben genoten van de prachtige uitstalling en waren onder de indruk van de omvang van de verzameling.
Bedankt dat we de trackables mochten zien.

Am 08.10 waren wir DVERK's und unser Sohn Liam (LErdO) zu Gast in Holland auf dem Event Saens Kessers Evenement [SAKE2016] - GC64Z75-. Wir hatten die weite Anreise auf uns genommen und haben nicht nur viele nette Menschen getroffen, sondern auch bekannte Gesichter gesehen. Es hat uns sehr gefreut dich mal wieder zu sehen und mit dir ein paar Worte wechseln aber natürlich und insbesondere deine fantastische Sammlung begutachtet. Daher bedanke ich mich dafür, deine besondere Sammlung (und deiner Freunde) discovern zu dürfen, es ist mir eine Ehre! Liebe Grüße aus Essen/NRW und wir sehen uns bestimmt in Maije oder in Bremerhaven wieder. Danke fürs zeigen! Tom

I have been given this incredibly huge collection of trackables by Geo-Dragonchild. Since that moment I am trying to visit (and admire) individually as many of these trackables as possible - but the collection is so big that I may not be able to visit all of them in details. I met Geo-Dragonchild perhaps several times during various Mega and Giga events in Europe, definitely it was this month at North Wales Mega event on the beautiful Llangollen canal. The Geo-Dragonchild's collection gives really a pleasure to browse through. I congratulate the owner for the given time and investment that this collection represents. Indeed, incredible! Thanks.

This guy introduced me to geocaching a day in October 2011. The days are still counting 😁! Now I was invited for a great evening with chat and "coinfest". I am really proud knowing you and what a great collection. The coins are amazing!

Thanks Geo-Dragonchild for everything! Hope to see you soon again.
