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.

Op het Geocoinfest in Eindhoven, wilde ik echt bij zijn. Met Emxj hiernaar toe gegaan. Hier veel kraampjes gezien waar geocoins en trackables te koop waren. Maar op de bovenverdieping waren een aantal vitrines met verzamelingen te bewonderen 🙂. Waaronder deze bijzonder mooie van jou, Geo-Dragonchild.
Bedankt deze te mogen bewonderen in het echt en daadwerkelijk te kunnen discoveren omdat ik de tracking-codes persoonlijk van jou heb ontvangen 👍.
