The PAX West coin:
Aside from just having colour on one side, the Pac people were also enlarged, moved, and given eyes. This was done by the artist and not by the community, but there were no objections to it.

Cleaned up.
Now we just need to work out if we need to "gamify" the dropbear, and how. I could stick a power glove on him I guess?

This one might only work if we do colour.
Should I put "VR" on the goggles, or is that clear? I was considering trying to do it like the VB beer logo but it was too messy of a design/litigious.

If we can only have colour on one side if should be this one.

So TERRA PRETIOSA LUDOS should actually be TERRA PRETIOSORUM LUDORUM, for what it's worth (google seems to confirm this).
So I'll need to make a voting form I think. I'll also add in the following since the votes have been so low so far:
NUMQUAM MENTULA ES (don't be a dick, used on all US coins)
NOLI ESSE DRONGO (don't be a drongo, my original suggestion for a localised version of the above phrase)
NULLUS ANXIETAS (no worries, Disc World reference and used on last years AUS coin)
TERRA PRETIOSORUM LUDORUM (land of expensive games)
Feel free to discuss, but the actual voting will be via the form I'm about to make.

Looking forward to these being available for order.

With the Flinders Street side (great idea BTW), I was wondering if you were planning to do it 'full colour' or do it the same way they did for the South coin (enamel to show off the 'depth'.
I'd vote for that, and suggest that at the most the colour on the flinders st side should be a green roof enamelled on?
If we go a full colour coin on both sides I'd imagine it would just be a photo sealed in with clear enamel, assuming that's how they do it.

(Yes, yes I did sign up to the forums I've been casually browsing for the past few months just for this... I'm slack and a bit antisocial)

FRONT:
BACK:
Please everyone double check that for typo's/correct dates and let me know if you find any.
We're going with reeded edges and antique gold like this year's south coin so they should look something like this.

Are the Front and Back images of the coin reversed? I thought Flinders was the front image and dropbear was the back image
But seriously I just had a small heart attack thinking I might have gotten the text paired with the wrong image, but no that's correct.
I had just never really considered what the "front" of the coin was and listed the first image I uploaded as it. ;)

Still sorting out prices/shipping at the moment, but I'll let everyone know when we can start ordering.
PAX AUS 2018 Challenge Coin!
Groovy.
Order update: Ok so now all coins in the first batch (100 standard/100 colour) will be distributed at PAX AUS by myself (getting them shipped straight there from the factory). So once I get the prices the form will be a tad more straightforward than last years (less postage options).
SOON.
