🔍 The new Garnet Red colour: the wooden box for coins and medals that collectors had been waiting for
In 2026 the trend in the world of numismatic collecting is clear: it is no longer enough to store your coins or medals properly — you also need to enhance them visually. Coins&More handcrafted wooden boxes have always met this need with two classic colours — Walnut and Black — appreciated for their elegance and versatility. But the real surprise came with the launch of Garnet Red, a new finish that has received an enthusiastic welcome from the Italian collector community.
The Garnet Red wooden box for coins and medals was born from numerous requests by collectors who asked for a more modern option, capable of standing out in displays and private showcases without losing the artisanal elegance that characterises every Coins&More product. The main pairing chosen for this new colour is Gold velvet, a combination that recalls the aesthetic of high-end jewellery cases — but at an accessible price and with the flexibility designed for the serious collector.
If you have a collection of historical coins, military medals, honours or even three-dimensional objects such as brooches and badges, the Coins&More handcrafted wooden box in the new Garnet Red colour is today one of the most complete solutions on the Italian market. Each piece is handmade in Italy, custom-sized, with coated MDF wood and interchangeable velvet interiors.

⚙️ How to choose the right wooden box for coins, medals and collectibles
Choosing the right handcrafted wooden box is not just about colour. Here are the factors that truly make a difference in protecting and showcasing your collection:
- Compartment size: check that the inner slots are compatible with the diameter of your coins (from 16 mm for smaller pieces up to 50 mm for large medals). Coins&More boxes are available in configurations from 1 to 20 pieces.
- Type of velvet: velvet is not just aesthetic — it protects the metal from scratches and absorbs surface moisture. Gold velvet paired with Garnet Red is particularly suited for display medals.
- Magnetic or hinged closure: for gift or transport boxes, magnetic closure offers practicality without risking damage to the pieces.
- Compartment depth: essential if you store three-dimensional objects such as pin brooches, medals with ribbons or badges with pedestals.
- Personalisation: it is possible to add a laser engraving on the lid — ideal for gift boxes or institutional collections.
What works: pairing the Garnet Red box with Gold velvet for medals and honours creates a museum-quality display effect at a contained cost — many collectors also use it for catalogue photography.
What doesn’t work: choosing a box that is too large “just to be safe” is the most common mistake. Unoccupied slots allow pieces to shift during transport, risking scratches. Always measure before ordering.

❓ FAQ — Frequently asked questions about Coins&More wooden boxes for coins and medals
Is the Garnet Red wooden box also suitable as a gift for a collector?
Absolutely yes. The Garnet Red colour with Gold velvet is the most appreciated combination for high-perception gifts: it conveys care and refinement without excessive cost. You can add a personalised laser engraving on the lid to make it even more special.
