Coin cabinets, cases and trays

Coin cabinets, cases and numismatic trays are storage and display solutions specially designed for the preservation of coins, medals and tokens. These accessories meet the protection and organisation requirements specific to numismatic collections, whether they consist of a few pieces or several hundred specimens.

Coin cabinets generally come in the form of wooden boxes, lacquered or covered in faux leather, fitted with removable trays lined with velvet or felt. The compartments are sized to accommodate coins of various formats, ranging from small circulation coins to large collector medals. Some models offer interchangeable trays allowing the configuration to be adapted according to the size of the coins to be stored.

Numismatic cases provide a secure transport solution. Made from aluminium or rigid synthetic material, they incorporate custom-cut foam inserts or removable trays. They are particularly suited to collectors who attend numismatic fairs or wish to transport their collection safely.

Numismatic trays are modular elements used alone or as a complement to a coin cabinet. They come in different materials ? wood, rigid plastic or fabric-covered board ? and offer standardised or customisable compartment configurations. Some trays are covered with chemically neutral materials, guaranteeing no reaction with the metal alloys of the coins.

The choice of a coin cabinet, case or tray depends on several criteria: the number of pieces to be stored, their diameter and thickness, the desired storage conditions, and whether or not the collection needs to be transported. The quality of the lining materials plays a decisive role in the long-term preservation of metal surfaces, particularly for coins in silver, bronze or copper, which are sensitive to oxidation and the chemical agents found in certain poor-quality textiles or plastics.
