Templar Geocoin







Shown above are two of the varieties of Templar Geocoins. These were manufactured in three main varieties: Antique Copper (top), Antique Gold (bottom) and Antique Silver (not shown). They are produced by a company in Germany and can still be bought directly from them for 8 Euros each. People continue to try to sell them on ebay and typically get more for them than the company in Germany gets. It always pays to see if you can get something elsewhere before bidding very high on Ebay.

The front of these coins shows a templar shield and features translucent color so that the metal structure of the coin can be seen. The back depicts the seal of the templars.

Like many geocoin producers, this company also produced some limited quantities of special editiosn of these coins. There were no more than about 30 of each of these varieties produced: Nickel, Foggy Gold, Black Nickel, Two Tone. I haven't seen any of these special ones.
