“The Jasmer Challenge is a very unique and very ambitious geocaching adventure. The concept is simple: you must find at least one geocache that was placed in every month back to the start of geocaching in May of 2000. You then get to surf the waves of time, with an infinite challenge that adds every month! The real challenge: finding enough of those old caches to complete the grid! To celebrate those infinite surfers, are friends at CreaCoins® came up with this very unique and amazing Jasmer Challenge geocoin!”

I tried for a year long to come up with a special design for this geocoin. It was a mint that persistently promoted UV-printing on a 3D surface that turned around the whole concept for my design and resulted in a design I was very pleased with.
But I still wanted one more extra attractive element and then decided to keep the areas showing the sea as transparant material so it would show such a depth when held against the light as if one was in the ocean together with the turtle.
The final design was born after almost 2 years of work on the drawing table!

“In October 2021 we (Luc De Haes, the designer aka spockske and Katrijn aka JazzyMouse) spent almost a month to discover Namibia, this most unique and beautiful country, and do some wonderful caches. After many concepts and designs the final design for a Namibia Souvenir Geocoin was completed. During my travel in Namibia I collected Kalahari sand to be part of the geocoins as you can see in this picture.”

“This coin was made to fundraise for Stopdarmkanker vzw, which is a Belgian non-profit organisation that strives for the most early as possible detection of colon cancer by spreading prevention knowledge and informing people.
It was ordered by the Belgian Geocoin Association. The fundraise resulted in a 2020 Euro donation to Stopdarmkanker.”

“This coin was designed to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the GC40, which is Belgian’s oldest still active cache. It’s also the oldest one on the European mainland and was placed on 7 July 2000.”

“This is one of 11 coins to commemorate famous Belgians. One was made for each of the 11 regions (10 provincies and the capital area of Brussels). The picture shown here is the frontside of the coin made about Adrian de Gerlache, an officer in the Belgian Royal Navy who led the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99, the first to winter in Antarctica. In 1896, he purchased the Norwegian-built whaling ship Patria, which, following an extensive refit, he renamed as the Belgica. He set sail from Antwerp on 16 August 1897.”

“This geocoin was made to be given as a mystery gift to geocoin collectors. Being a “mystery” gift we can’t disclose the customer’s identity. It’s a custom among collectors to show their friendship in a discrete way and show they are valued for their collector’s community membership.”

“This pin was made to commemorate attendance to the GeoCoinFest Europe in 2017 that welcomed over 1400 attendees. It was ordered by the Belgian Geocoin Association who organised this mega event in Aarschot (Belgium).”

“Taking care about the environment we play in is crucial for our hobby. So ever since I started designing I had the making of geocoins, to raise the awareness for our environment, in my mind. While strolling in the streets of Perugia to attend Umbria Jazz 15 on 11 July 2015 I meet Pamela Marinelli, a local artist exposing her paintings. My attention was held when I saw her painting with a dragonfly. I took a few months to reflect on what to do with it and chatting with Christian Mackey on Facebook we decided to make a 4 level geocoin of Pamela’s painting.

“In 2015 I had the pleasure to visit Malta and to organize an event on this beautiful island. That’s where I met Chris Hendry with whom I share 2 passions, deep sea diving (although I have stopped diving at present) and of course geocaching. Chris asked for a “Malta” coin and he came up with the idea of a coin with on one side the Malta Cross and on the other side the one thing all tourists remember, the Luzzu boat. I suggested some more complex designs, but Chris wanted it to keep a simple souvenir geocoin and that’s how I started to draw this rather cute and souvenir like design.”

“The design of this geocoin of the Ford Mustang is based on the 1967 Fastback model. From 1967 until 1973, the Mustang got bigger and was facelifted, giving the Mustang a more massive look overall. Front and rear end styling was more pronounced. Hardtop, fastback and convertible body styles continued as before.”

“Following its introduction at the 1948 Paris motor show, the 2CV remained in production until 1990, and during this time it was built in many different countries – including at Slough in England in the ’50’s. In the later years of production many “special edition” versions of the 2CV were produced such as the “Charleston” and the “Dolly”. In 1990 the last car was produced during the month of July in a plant in Portugal.”
