This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

N.I.E.L.S. Geocoin (Antique Silver) LE75 is a N.I.E.L.S. Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

The N.I.E.L.S. Geocoin was designed by N.I.E.L.S. (Noordbrabants Informatief Event Langs Spoor) initiative and minted by KarelKraak. The coin was released on 11.th June 2010 during the 3rd. NoordBrabants Informatief Event Langs Spoor Event (GC23VGR) in Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.

The picture below shows the artwork of the N.I.E.L.S. Geocoin:

The front of the coin features the international maritime signal flags, international sign language, flag semphore system, braille and morse code with the corresponding letters of the alphabet. Thus it can be used as a decoder geocoin during geocaching tours. The puzzle pieces in the centre of the geocoin represent the four members of the N.I.E.L.S. initiative. The back of the coin shows the name of the initiative as well as the words "De letters zeggen alles".

In total 100 pieces of the N.I.E.L.S. Geocoin were minted:
