coming up next: swiss canton mini coins

from 2010 until 2020, geocoins.biz produced 26 swiss canton geocoins (plus a liechtenstein geocoin in the same size), one for each state of the swiss confederation.

some of these coins are sold out meanwhile. however, for the upcoming mega event “grüezi schwiiz” in aarau (capital of canton aargau, switzerland) in september 2026, we come up with two new geocoins:

swiss canton mini geocoins for the cantons of aargau and zurich.

they are currenlty in production. this is the first picture.

the size of this this coin is different from every other coin ever released by ernies: the diameter is 31.45mm (= 1.23 inch) which is exactly the size of the so called ”füfliber“ (5 swiss francs coin). however, the geocoin is a bit thicker: 3mm. and has a loop hole, so you can attach a string and wear it — or attach it to another object like a travelbug®.

they will come with the icons of the aargau geocoin, or zürich geocoin respectively.

first sale will take place at the mega event mentioned above on september 5.

gulas geocoins with heart spinner

this is a geocoin that has it all: a spinning heart with a wow effect, glow-in-the-dark elements, brillant faux gems, an eyelet for a string. lots of hidden easter eggs and of course fully trackable at geocaching.com with its own icon.

this coin was developped for the swiss reviewer couple gulaS.

  • gulas geocoin, nickel, a geocoin with a heart in the center
  • gulas geocoin, matte silver, a geocoin with a heart in the center
  • gulas geocoin, matte gold, a geocoin with a heart in the center
  • gulas geocoin, gold and nickel, a geocoin with a heart in the center
  • gulas geocoin, antique silver, a geocoin with a heart in the center
  • gulas geocoin, antique copper, a geocoin with a heart in the center

front side: you can see a soccer ball, an electric guitar and the geocaching logo. these are the main hobbies or mr. gulas. the central heart shows some “letters” that look rather arabic than latin. the complete letters will only show when combined with those on the back. that happens when you spin the heart. you will be able to read the full message. it is the swiss german equivalent for “i love you”: i ha di gärn.

besides the stars, the back shows three astro signs: the one of the producer, the one of the recipient, and the one of the designer. there are six faux gems that add some bling. the moon glows in the dark and shows the icon of the cachers “gulas” (their name is also indicated on the left). the (main) year of the production is on the right (2024).

this coin took about two years for its creation from the first idea to the mass production: finally, in february 2025, it was ready.

there is a total of 7 (seven) editions, covering a vast range of colors and metal platings. the artist edition (antique silver) comes in only 20 copies and is only available with the complete set of all seven coins.

the tracking code (starting with gs for “gulas”) can be found on the edge of the coin.

dimensions: 2″ x 2″ (51mm x 51mm), 3mm thick.

you can find these coins in our web store while stock last.
