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.

Beim Geocoinfest Europe 2015 Netherlands in eindhovenhttp://coord.info/GC5E266 gab es natürlich jede Menge Geocoins zu bestaunen. Die meisten waren allerdings unaktiviert und sollten gekauft oder getauscht werden. Die imposante Sammlung von Geo-Dragonchild hat es mir besonders angetan - wirklich tolle Coins!!! Das eine oder andere Schmuckstück würde auch gut in meine Sammlung passen! ;-)
Vielen Dank für's Zeigen beim Geocoinfest und die Möglichkeit zu discovern!
Dane auch für die ganzen Icons!
Viele Grüße aus Dortmund,

I had the chance to see the Geo-Dragonchild's collection at the 2015 Geocoinfest in Eindhoven. And since he kindly sent me the tracking codes, I am even able to log them as "discovered". It was my first geocoinfest, and even though the geocoins form part of every event, the amount of geocoins at the geocoinfest was immense. There was no way to see them all, so I just strolled along the stands and looked here and there what might be interesting. Besides the coins, I also liked the sunny weather, the lab caches around and the overall atmosphere. What amused me a little bit was the beer, since it was really small (I think 0,2l).
Thanks for sharing the collection with the geocaching community & happy geocaching!
