Here is the link to a pre-sale from the dutch coin 2008
http://nl2008.k2coins.nl/?page=home
For the dutch coin lovers
information about the coin:
Pre-sale is open for the Dutch Geocoin 2008. This years theme is: Caching below sealevel.
On the front of the coin is seen a replica of an old coin from 1737 called a Zeeuwsche Stuiver. The coat of arms of Zeeland shows a lion half-emerged from water and represent the motto "luctor et emergo" (Latin for "I struggle and I emerge").
On the back of the coin is seen a 'peilschaal', a mostly emaille plate which is place by the Water Board the measuse the hight of the water at the N.A.P. scale (Normaal Amsterdams Peil or Amsterdam Ordnance Datum). It stands below a map of The Netherlands which only shows those parts that are situated above N.A.P.

Well, that border is about 231km from my home coordinates...
So borderhoping takes a bit of time... Which in summer is definitely short in supply...
I'll pass through in January on the way back from Ireland... Ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland. _________________ Be yourself so others may recognize you

Never mind, it's still a nice coin, I'm sure the silver will fit better.
Why not have both variations?
I used to live in Waterford, Ireland for 6 years. We still have friends over there and visit them regularly.

One of my coins was at Malin Head, the most northern point of Ireland. But the cache was muggled by the sea, so my coin is like true treasure at the bottom of the ocean...
Anyone up to a dive into the atlantic waters? Well, they're warmed by the golf stream, but in the area are cliffs...
Still lots of my coins traveling, I really enjoy reading where they are...
Hawaii, Australia, Sweden, Ireland (another one), France, Finland...
All those places I'll never be able to visit! _________________ Be yourself so others may recognize you

The dutch coin is arrived in the Netherlands and hopeful on his way to you.
Check by http://nl2008.k2coins.nl/ if your coins are already on his way to you.
I am very curious how they look in my hand. |

i have nothing heard about a le antique gold coin.
first they say the coin is gold but later they say it is silver.
i can give you the name who ordered these coins, it is not k2coins they only help to sell the coins.
if you want that name..pm me and you can ask the question yourself. |
