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".
Vincent 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.

This trackable was spotted on the geocoinfest 2015 in Eindhoven.
After discovering some new coins we decided to go geocaching by bike in the city of Eindhoven. It was a lovely day in excellent company.
Thanks for sharing these coins.

Tijdens het Geocoinfest Europa in Eindhoven hebben we verlekkerd naar alle te koop zijnde Geocoins gekeken. Maar ja, best prijzig, Zeker die hele mooie vikingcoins waar we helemaal verliefd op werden maar echt boven ons budget. Daarna een rondje over de tentoonstellingsruimte om daar de verzamelingen van diverse Geocachers te mogen bewonderen waaronder deze van Geo-Dragonchild. Een schitterende collectie waar we dus even van mochten genieten. Dank daarvoor. Groet, team Bever.vw

😛Hej min vän.
Nu har jag kommit till insikt att jag loggar dina underbara vackra Coin med en enkel vanlig logg tyvärr👎
Jag har inte tid till annat just nu.
Inte om jag skall göra som jag egentligen vill.
Skriva både engelska och svenska loggar, sitta med google translate
och försöka få till en fantastisk unik logg på varenda en av dina vackra.
Men något jag gör är att öppna upp och läsa historien som dom har 👍
Detta var en av alla hundratals loggbara Coin som jag beundrade på geocoinfesten i Eindhoven.
Stort tack för att jag fick beundras av dess skönhet😚 👍
Fint coin av en duktig konstnär.
