At this year’s Shambhala Festival, a fresh wave of artistic innovation arrived in the trinket trading scene through handcrafted wood and resin coins. Unlike typical mass-produced trinkets, these unique coins were limited in number—only 15 to 20 pieces crafted—making them authentic collectibles with a personal touch.
The coins feature a striking eye motif with layered colors enclosed in star-shaped frames, with the latest design iteration labeled version 2.0. This handcrafted style quickly caught the attention of the Shambhala Reddit community, sparking buzz and curiosity.
Festival-goers showed strong interest not only in acquiring these rare coins but also in the design files, eager to customize or create their own versions for future trinket exchanges. This enthusiasm showcases how Shambhala’s trinket economy is evolving beyond simple swaps into a vibrant ecosystem of artistic collaboration and meaningful exchange.
These handmade coins demonstrate how innovation and personal expression continue to thrive within the Shambhala community, elevating festival culture through creative craftsmanship.
