Dutch Rider Geocoin

A rider (rijder) was the name of an old Dutch currency. It was made in silver or gold. It was named after the horseman on the coin (rider, of in dutch: rijder).

Design

The geocoin is round shaped and has a size of 1.75″ (approx. 44 mm).  The Dutch Rider Geocoin is designed after a 1754 Dutch coin called the Rijder (Rider), a monetary coin that was made in silver or in gold. The front of the coin is an exact copy of the 1754 Dutch coin called the "Rijder". The image of the horseman was already used in the century before. The latin motto ‘Mo No Arg Con Foe Belg Pro Hol’ on the front means: New Silver Coin of the Belgium Federation (a.k.a. Republic of the Seven Provinces), province of Holland.
The 3D lion image on the back was also used on several Dutch coins and often came with the same motto. The motto ‘Concordia Res Parvae Crescunt’ on the back means: The little ones grow through unity.

Beim "Geocoinfest Europe 2015 Netherlands" gab es ohne Ende Coins und TB's zu bewundern.
Erst Heute in der kalten Jahreszeit haben wir sie uns noch einmal am Computer angeschaut und sie discovert.

Viele Grüße aus dem Bergischen Land vom Team "Breun".

Wir waren auf unsere Hochzeitsreise als wir einen Geocoin der Veranstalter in Hamburg gefunden haben. Als wir geschaut haben welche Aufgabe der Coin hatte haben wir das Geocoinfest entdeckt und haben es natürlich gleich in unser Reiseprogramm aufgenommen. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis gewesen und sehr Interessant wie viele verschiedene TB und Coins es auf der Welt gibt.

vielen Dank fürs Zeigen

[violet]I'm currently hitchhiking my way around Europe as part of a geocaching trip around the world. My first stop was Ireland where I spent a couple weeks touring the country. I then flew to London and spent a couple weeks touring the United Kingdom. From there I made my way through the tunnel and up to Amsterdam and then back down to Belgium. After that I headed for France. Then from there I headed to Portugal for a mega event that was happening. After that I headed for Denmark to attend another Mega event. I then made my way North into Sweden and then even further North to Norway. After that I proceeded to work my way back down South through Finland and then ferry hopped my way through a few of the islands to arrive back in Sweden. Next I made my way to Germany for another Mega event and then back to the Netherlands for still another mega event. I was then fortunate enough to see this collection of geocoins and have the opportunity to discover them all
