this is a long-term project. the goal is to create 26 geocoins, one for each canton (mini state) of switzerland.
the front side show the canton’s flag (coat of arms), the year of joining the swiss confederation, a small swiss flag, and the canton’s name in the four swiss national languages: german, french, italian, and romansh.
the back shows a typical theme of the canton, either folklore, geography, architecture, culture, ...
the first two coins are:
basel-stadt (designed by dartcache)
showing basilisk, a medieval heraldic bird.
appenzell ausserrhoden (by romeo8)
showing two trychel (giant cow bells) players, wearing their regional folk dress.
up next:
schwyz, vaud, zug (summer 2010)
