This personal geocoin issued by Anthus -- a geocaching family from Pennsylvania -- is actually a decoder geocoin! Kind of like the decoder rings we used to get in cereal boxes, except much nicer. This decoder geocoin can aid geocachers who possess it in finding the Anthus Decoder multi-cache.

Version 1 and 1.5 use the dame die. What is different is that the jacket and hat of the agent is black in v1.5, indicating that he is a secret or undercover agent. Also different is the outer ring on the front which is red in v1.5 instead of black with the arrow in v1.5 black instead of red. The different colors make it clear that this is version 1.5.
