The Haec Libertatis Ergo Geocoin was designed by Mr. Van Stoffelen Sr. The below shown information related to the geocoin were taken from his website: "huiberst.info".
Final Artwork of the Haec Libertatis Ergo Geocoin
Haec Libertatis Ergo Geocoin
The Eighty Years’ War, or Dutch War of Independence, (1568–1648) began as a revolt
of the Seventeen Provinces against Philip II of Spain, the sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands.
After the initial stages Philip II deployed his
armies and regained control over most of the
rebelling provinces. However, under the leadership of the exiled William of Orange the northern provinces continued their resistance and managed to oust the Spanish armies, and established the republic of the Seven United Netherlands.
The subsequent war between the Spanish
empire and the Republic continued, although
the heartland of the Republic was no longer threatened. The war ended in 1648 with the
Peace of Munster when the Dutch Republic
was recognised as an independent country.
Design
The geocoin is round shaped and has a size of
1.75″ (approx. 44 mm). The front of this geocoin
is made after a silver copy of a paper coin from
the city of Leiden in 1574. This paper coin was
made to finance the 80-year Dutch revolt against
the Spanish occupier. Spanish troups besieged the city, but in 1574 the city was relieved by cutting the dikes thus enabling ships to carry provisions to the inhabitants of the flooded town. The coins shows a Dutch lion with on it’s lance a hat of freedom. The text ‘Haec libertatis ergo’ means ‘all the for the sake of freedom’. On the back of the coin the broken chain, dutch flag and the keys of the city
of Leiden.

We wisten niet wat ons te wachten stond tijdens deze Mega Geocoinfest te Eindhoven.
Maar dat het zo druk zou zijn en dat we zoveel coins/tbs hebben kunnen bewonderen dat was fantastisch.
Vooral de vitrines op de bovenste etage vol met coins/tb's waren knap om naar te kijken.
Het was super fijn dat we deze kunnen discoveren.
Sorry voor het late loggen.

Op 25 september was het European Coin Event in Eindhoven we hebben onze ogen uit gekeken. Heel af en toe komt er wel eens een coin langs in een Cache maar dat het zulke grote vormen aan kan nemen wist ik niet.
WOW wat een verscheidenheid en de ene nog mooier dan de andere.
Enorm genoten van de vele collecties en met name de collectie van Geo Dragonchild zag er indrukwekkend uit.
Niet een lijstje of boek maar alles mooi in een display, we hebben ons een half uur vergaapt aan al het moois.
Dank je Geo-Dragonchild voor het delen van je verzameling!

Hallo Dragonchild,
Meine Frau und ich haben deine Coins/TBs gesehen auf der GeoCoinFest 2015. Überall (Auto's, Shirts, jacken, usw.) waren trackable-codes zu sehen, aber wir wusten nicht das es leute gab die so viele coin gesammelt haben.. Sehr schön um das so zu sehen. Danke fürs zeigen und hoffentlich treffen wir uns irgendwo! Und naturlich ein große danke das wir diese sammlung discovern möchten.
