Apart from other lovely geocoins, every year since 2006, the portuguese geocaching community, designs an annual portuguese geocoin, reflecting some historical and cultural traditions of our almost 900 years old country.


The design is voted by the majority of our two geocaching online foruns users, after a contest, where everybody can suggest ideas.


Kelux is a professional graphic designer, that won two of those annual contests (2008 and 2011) and designed some other geocoins already produced.


The 2011 portuguese geocoin, uses inspiration on the rose window of Igreja da Graça (church of the Grace) in Santarém. Built between the 14th and 15th centuries in gothic style. Has a magnificent main portal and rose window, unique in the world, carved out of a single stone.
The colours applied on the geocoin are a creative option, but the designer kept the central area of the geocoin like a see-trough glass window.

Discovered at the 9th UK MEGA Event in Llangollen, North Wales. Being an avid geocoin collector, and discoverer, the highlight of my maiden MEGA Event today has to be meeting fellow geocoin collectors, and having the opportunity to view some stunning collections. The friendliest of all had to be Henry & Lin - Team L8HNB, with whom I spent so much time chatting I almost missed the chance to visit the GPS Maze! Great collection. Lovely to meet a collector who specializes in British Geocoins too! The standout coins for me personally have to be the Yorkshire Dales National Park 2006 coin, the trackable Jan & The Percy Boys personal coin, the pair of Uluru National Park coins, Fundamental & Venlis SAAB coin, the Stonehenge Mystery coin and the great collection of the Letterboxing Geocoins you've put together. I look forward to welcoming you to my home MEGA in Devon next August, where I hope to return the compliment and display my collection - complete. A great memory of a great day - many thanks Henry!
