How do Genius Loci Medals replace traditional tourist panels?

They offer discreet, cost-effective signage: a brushed stainless steel medal (9×11 cm) with a QR code linking to a dedicated digital space for that place.

Are the medals suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — they are made from brushed, recyclable stainless steel, designed for outdoor conditions, and can be mounted with M4 screws or fixed hole-free using the included rear mounting plate.

Where is the data hosted?

All data is hosted in Switzerland with an ethical provider certified ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 — at no additional cost.

Is the design protected?

Yes — the design is patented with WIPO under reference HAGUE.D224832.

QR Codes for Cities, Villages and Regions

A modern, cost-effective alternative to tourist signage panels.

What do these medals look like?

Our medals measure 9 x 11 cm. Sleek and elegant, they fit anywhere, as close as possible to the object being showcased.
We make them in Switzerland, in our own workshop. They are crafted from brushed stainless steel — a particularly resistant and ecological material, as it can be recycled very easily.

We offer personalised engraving on the medals for local authorities, associations or individuals.

Built to last

We chose brushed 316L stainless steel for its extreme resistance to corrosion and the elements.
The engraving is produced through a special laser marking process that reacts with the stainless steel and tints it deeply. Our medals therefore stand up to scratches far better than standard printed signs.
