Red Remembrance Poppy Geocoin

During World War I, Red Flanders poppies carpeted the battle fields. The little red flowers sprang up in bomb craters, around trenches and often marked soldiers' graves. Today the red poppy remains a symbol of war and its heroes. Many remember their lost friends and family members by wearing a paper red poppy pinned to their lapel on November 11th, Veterans Day.

Oakcoins will be donating $1.00/coin to the Fisher House Foundation.

There are 2 different versions, the Gold Poppy and Silver LE. Some are bundled together with a Red Poppy pin.

Size: 1", 2.5mm thick

Trackable at geocaching.com and has its own icon.

You are able to purchase these coins on our pre-sales page. We will move these coins to our geocoins page in a couple of days.

I guess this way we make the Poppy famous again among the Western Front and at Flander Fields.
