☆ TOL geocoin Tree of Life Scavok VHTF Reverse Silver/Red Unactivated 70 minted

Description

You are bidding on a Very Hard to find Reverse Silver on Red Tree Celtic Tree of Life Geocoin.
The Celtic Tree of Life was design by Roger Kovacs aka Scavok (Surname Kovacs written reverse) who we lost much to soon. The coin was originally produced in 2009.  The complex filigrane design made it a highly sought-after collectable. Due to the complex structures nobody can describe the features of the coin better than Roger himself. Thus here his own explanation of both sides:
backside of the coin (right side) - seven celtic symbols:
The seven celtic symbols, are explained by Roger like this:
Top Left: Triskelion
The traditional triskelion does not have 3 circles; it is 3 branched arms giving the appearance of constant forward movement. The trinity aspect has many meanings, but for the purpose of this coin my intention was representation of mind, body and spirit. Mine is a triskelion with the three branches mirrored on its self (mirrored curves create the circles) representing reflection of the past and looking to the future in all three aspects.
Top Right: The Labyrinth
One of the many symbols with many, may meanings throughout a world of cultures. This is a very important symbol to me in that the path between two points is always longer than a straight line. If you have never walked a labyrinth, go find one and use it. I’m not somebody who hums over scented candles, chanting curses and things like that so don’t think I’m a weirdo in any sort. But, really, walking a labyrinth while taking some solace and putting everything else out of your mind is an eye opener by the time you reach the center. If you've done it, you know what I mean.
Right: The Animal
This symbol is my rendition of the knot called “the animal.” There are as many meanings for this symbol as there are artistic renditions. My claim to this symbol is freedom.
Bottom Right: Arrow Trinity
Representing mind, body and spirit, this time in the sense of power, determination and inner strength.
Bottom Left: Quaternary Knot
It is a continuous knot (not the 3 sided “endless knot”) leading to all 4 classic directionals in all 4 seasons and is also believed to symbolize luck (a clover predecessor) and with luck comes protection in the journey.
Left: Flower
Celtic artists would use flowers in vines to symbolize union and the fact that as special as a single, unique item may be, there is beauty in numbers (whether it be people, flowers, adventures, experiences…). My rendition is just one flower, but interweaved vines are included.
Center: Clockwise Spiral
The simple clockwise spiral (again in the three important areas) is often representative of the sun emphasizing growth and development.
Front side of the coin (left) - Tree of Life:
The tree of life is the connection of all the other symbols. Also a sign of wisdom, It was the doorway between hope and reality, sustenance and protection, work and recreation. It is the symbol of complete interdependence between all aspects of the world we live in."
