Frisia Geocoin

The Frisia Geocoin is made after an old Dutch coin, a silver florin of Frisia, minted in the city of Leeuwarden
in 1684.
Frisia was one of the 7 provences of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. In 1579 these northern provences of the Netherlands signed the Union of Utrecht, in which they promised to support each other in their defence against the Spanish army. This was followed in 1581 by the Act of Abjuration, the declaration of independence of the provinces from Philip II of Spain.
This coin was introduced in Frisia (a region in the Northern Netherlands) in 1601 as a response to changing coin weights in the southern Netherlands.

Design

The geocoin is round shaped and has a size of 1.75″ (approx. 44 mm). The man on the front of the coin is an unknown Frisian nobleman, with on his head a ‘klapmuts’. The latin text ‘Florenvs Argent Ordi Frisia’ surrounding the Frisian nobleman means ‘Silver Florin of Frisia’. The text ’28 st’ means 28 stuivers, the actual value of this Frisian florin.
On the back of the coin the arms of Frisia is shown surrounded by the two little ‘Pompeblêden’ (leaves of a water lily). The two little ‘Pompeblêden’ is a little reference to the current Dutch provence Friesland.
The latin text ‘Nisi Dominvs Nobiscvm’ means ‘Unless the Lord is with us’.

Am 08.10 waren wir DVERK's und unser Sohn Liam (LErdO) zu Gast in Holland auf dem Event Saens Kessers Evenement [SAKE2016] - GC64Z75-. Wir hatten die weite Anreise auf uns genommen und haben nicht nur viele nette Menschen getroffen, sondern auch bekannte Gesichter gesehen. Es hat uns sehr gefreut dich mal wieder zu sehen und mit dir ein paar Worte wechseln aber natürlich und insbesondere deine fantastische Sammlung begutachtet. Daher bedanke ich mich dafür, deine besondere Sammlung (und deiner Freunde) discovern zu dürfen, es ist mir eine Ehre! Liebe Grüße aus Essen/NRW und wir sehen uns bestimmt in Maije oder in Bremerhaven wieder. Danke fürs zeigen! Tom

I have been given this incredibly huge collection of trackables by Geo-Dragonchild. Since that moment I am trying to visit (and admire) individually as many of these trackables as possible - but the collection is so big that I may not be able to visit all of them in details. I met Geo-Dragonchild perhaps several times during various Mega and Giga events in Europe, definitely it was this month at North Wales Mega event on the beautiful Llangollen canal. The Geo-Dragonchild's collection gives really a pleasure to browse through. I congratulate the owner for the given time and investment that this collection represents. Indeed, incredible! Thanks.
