Cases and boxes

Numismatic cases and boxes are containers specifically designed for the conservation and presentation of coins, medals and collectible pieces. Made from various materials such as velvet, leather, lacquered wood or rigid plastic, they offer effective protection against shocks, humidity and oxidation.

These containers come in several formats adapted to different uses: individual cases hold a single coin or medal, while multi-compartment boxes allow several pieces to be grouped together within the same organised set. Some models are fitted with magnetic closure lids or hinges, ensuring a neat opening during presentation.

The interior lining plays an essential role in preserving coins: soft materials such as satin, corduroy velvet or inert foam prevent micro-scratches and limit the risk of contact between coins. Thermoformed inserts or calibrated compartments keep coins in a fixed position without excessive pressure on the relief.

Wooden boxes are particularly appreciated for the presentation of prestige coins, commemorative series or official central bank sets. They are often finished with a black lacquer or faux leather coating with a logo or coat of arms affixed to the lid.

Transparent plastic cases, on the other hand, are better suited to everyday use or retail coin sales, allowing direct viewing of the coin without handling. They are available for standardised diameters covering the majority of common formats, from small 10 mm coins to large coins over 50 mm.

The choice of a case or box depends mainly on the diameter and thickness of the coin, the desired level of protection, and the context of use: long-term storage, display cabinet exhibition, gift giving or commercial packaging. Some boxes also include a certificate of authenticity or a descriptive booklet, making them complete solutions for thematic collections or limited editions.
