This geocoin is based on the Flower of Life design.  The Flower of Life is a geometrical figure, composed of six, evenly spaced, overlapping circles of the same diameter, that are arranged to form a flower-like geometric pattern with a six fold symmetry like a hexagon.

It’s considered by many to be a symbol of sacred geometry, also known as God’s Equation, depicting the fundamental forms of space and time.  It’s a visual representation of the life force that is thought to connect all sentient beings.

The Sacred Geometry  and it’s symbols have been used throughout history by philosophers, artists, and architects to express the perfection of form.

The Flower of Life Geocoin was produced in black nickel, antique silver, antique gold and satin gold. The seven circles are depicted with glow in the dark gradient colors.  This geocoin is 40 mm in diameter, and 3 mm thick.  Only 300 were produced, and it was initially released in October 2007. This coin is trackable on Geocaching.com

Well, I wasn’t sure I wanted to post this with so many wonderful new coins coming out…but I just couldn’t resist as I’m too impatient. The sample pictures aren’t very good and I wish I could take better photos but I just can’t. We still have some work to do but hopefully we can get it all worked out soon. These started out as a new personal coin but in the end I decided to go the other route and not have our name on it. We’ll work on a personal coin another time.

So, how did this all come about? Well, our Surname means dragon
German: from Middle High German trache, drache ‘dragon’, hence probably a habitational name for someone who lived at a house distinguished by the sign of a dragon, or a nickname for someone with a fierce or fiery temperament. – (They hit that on the head)

Anyway, maybe that’s why I’ve always been fascinated by the myth surrounding my favorite constellation – Draco. Draco is a constellation that winds around the little dipper and is its brightest in the month of August – the month of my birth as well – coincidence? I think not cool.gif. You can see this constellation everyday just like Andromeda. Dragons often played a role in myths and legends. In these stories the gods would often battle the dragons for control of the Earth. When defeated, the dragons were flung up into the skies.

The most famous myth calls this Dragon Ladon. Ladon was a dragon that guarded the golden apples on a tree in a garden tended by the Hesperides, the daughters of Atlas. Hercules was sent to obtain the apples while under pledge to Eurystheus. He learned from Nereus that he could not pluck the apples himself, but must get help from Atlas. Hercules shot and killed Ladon with an arrow, making way for Atlas to enter and pluck the golden apples. The goddess Hera was greatly distressed by the death of Ladon and placed the dragon in the heavens. This coin represents Draco in the heavens always visible over all the Earth.

Again, it seemed very fitting as a personal coin design and yet I thought it might be even better without our tag on it. So that’s it and I hope you like them.

J.R.R. Tolkien once said that “not all who wander are lost.” What better philosophy for a geocacher? For us, the beauty is in the hunt, the search, the “wandering.” The true prize is what you find along the way to the cache. Sometimes the journey is the destination.

Tolkien was an established polyglot and even created his own organized spoken and written languages to embellish the fantastical worlds he created. One of such languages is Tengwar, the writing on one of this coin’s sides. It is a direct translation of the flip side. It is simply a reminder that no matter how you look at anything, whether you understand it or not, “there is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.” –Tolkien

Excalibur was the legendary sword pulled from the stone by Arthur.  The legend indicates that Arthur pulled the sword from the stone confirming his rightful place as King of England.  The mythological sword was gifted with magical powers when held by the rightful King of England.

The name “Excalibur” was derived from the Latin phrase Ex calce liberatus, which translated to: “liberated from the stone.” The Greeks also had a similar translation: Ex-Kylie-Pyr or “out of a cup—fire”. Both phrases are inscribed on the front of this geocoin.

On the back of the Excalibur geocoin is a Coat of Arms similar to what may have been worn by King Arthur.

Around the edge of the geocoin are the names of the original 11 Knights of the Round Table: Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Gawaine, Sir Gareth, Sir Bors, Sir Percivale, Sir Tristan, Sir Bedivere, Sir Lamorak, Sir Kay and Sir Geraint. Also on the coin is the year 1300 – the year that Arthur began his reign as King of England.

In an open letter to the pinheads at the Kansas State Board of Education, Henderson presents his concept of intelligent design by declaring belief in a supernatural creator that closely resembles a flying plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Hence the creation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He labels his theory as the “Pastafarian theory of creation”, and demanded that it be taught in Kansas classrooms along side Intelligent Design.

The humorous nature of Henderson’s argument made the Flying Spaghetti Monster a instant cult sensation and became immensely popular with bloggers as well as humor and Internet culture websites.

In August 2005, the Swedish concept designer Niklas Jansson created, an adaptation of Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam (superimposing the Flying Spaghetti Monster over God) which became and remains today the FSM’s de facto brand image. He declared his image “pretty much free to use for press and such as far as I’m concerned”.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Geocoin

The Flying Spaghetti Monster trackable geocoin is the personal coin of the “often-imitated, but never duplicated” leader of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. FSM splits his time between being a moderator in the Geocaching.com Geocoin Forums and tirelessly trying to educate the world on the inverse relationship between the average global temperature and the alarming decrease in the number of pirates left in the world.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Geocoin was released in July 2007 at CoinsAndPins.com, but quickly sold out.
