Ok, I need to have a few photos easy to find, and this is a convenient location..

For various reasons, I need a few photos up where I can show them to several people as examples of things that can be done with Geocoins. So, you all get to see them here!

I’ll probably be updating this post several times, to keep everything in one place.

So, to start with, we’ll examine what can be done with “2d” coins.


Butterfly 2o1o (Tie Die)

This coin is a great example of multi-level 2D under translucent (hard) enamel. The right-hand picture only uses 2 colors of enamel, yet because of the multiple depths appears to have far more.  The left picture only has 5 colors of enamel. I believe this is 4-level coin on each side, 3 recessed and then the raised/exposed metal.


Eat, Sleep, Cache (Blue front)

This is another multilevel under hard enamel, this time with both translucent and opaque enamels. In this case, the under-enamel raised details are used to add shadows in the lake, and detail to the sun, along with implying some depth. 


Digital Hell (Copper with Green)

This coin is hard to get good pictures of with the really shiny copper, so I’m using a few I found around the web. In this case, the enamel used is soft but also translucent.

This coin is particularly interesting because it uses a combination of 2D and 3D techniques, and a combination of both soft and hard enamels.

  1. I like the coins and I am looking forward to seeing that Panda coin you were telling me about although it sounds like it would be very difficult to get a picture that would justify it.
