ARTifacts
Where image and artifact become one.
ARTifacts is a unique service that extends our coin photography into one of a kind gallery-quality prints, complete with the featured coin integrated into the display.
Each ARTifacts piece features both the image and the coin itself, framed together in a timeless display that feels equally at home in a study, living room, or library.
In an ARTifacts display, the coin isn’t sealed behind glass or fixed in place — it’s yours to interact with.
You can remove it from its mount, feel its weight, turn it in your hand, and examine both sides in full detail.
Then, when you’re ready, return it to the display — securely reattached, beautifully framed, and ready to be admired once more.
Because part of what makes a coin meaningful is the ability to connect with it — not just through the image, but through the object itself.
Each ARTifacts package includes:
A high-quality 16” x 30” archival print of your photographed coin.
A standard Quadrum-style coin holder (or similar), for clean and secure display of the coin.
Peel-and-stick rare earth magnets that allow you to attach the coin holder to the outside of the frame glass once your print has been professionally or personally framed.
The coin itself, if not supplied by the customer.
A certificate of authenticity for both the coin (when applicable) and the artwork.
Frame is not included.
Why Collectors Choose ARTifacts
You don’t need to explain why you collect coins when there’s a framed piece on the wall.
One-of-a-Kind Displays
We live in a fast, digital world. A historical coin on the wall slows time. It anchors the room. It becomes a point of stillness and gravity — something real, something human, something that has lasted.
History You Can Live With
ARTifacts is designed for interaction. The coin can be removed from its holder, studied, weighed in hand, right where you sit, read, work, or reflect, and then returned to its place. It’s a quiet reminder that history isn’t distant — it’s personal and present.
Move your coin from drawer to dialogue — from storage to storytelling.
Not every coin is ultra-rare or high-risk. Many collectors have coins of moderate value that are rich in meaning, artistry, or age — ideal for thoughtful display without compromising security. ARTifacts offers a refined alternative to flips, slabs, and binders — giving important coins the visibility and reverence they deserve.
More Than A Coin, A Work Of Art.
Professionally photographed, enlarged in detail, and printed on archival paper, the coin becomes a focal point worthy of the wall. Let the details, toning, and textures become part of your decor.
A Shape That Suits the Story
The vertical ARTifacts display is our signature presentation — balanced, timeless, and designed to draw the eye naturally from image to object, but not every coin is the same — and neither is every ARTifacts.
Displays are available in a range of complimentary shapes and sizes to best suit both the coin and the space it lives in.
Square, vertical, horizontal — even circular formats for the right piece — each design is chosen to enhance the coin’s character, composition, and presence.
Whether you want something classic, bold, or quietly modern, your ARTifacts can be tailored to fit your style and the story your coin tells.
Pricing & Process
Every ARTifacts display is individually quoted, because no two pieces are the same. Size, layout, coin type, and overall design are all tailored to the coin and the story it tells.
Pricing includes professional coin photography if we haven’t already provided it, along with the design, archival printing, and custom assembly components. Whether it’s a client-owned coin or one we supply, each quote reflects the care and craftsmanship that goes into creating a finished, display-ready piece.
To begin, just let us know which coin you’d like to feature — we’ll guide you from there.

Why choose an ARTifact display— even if you don’t collect coins?
A Connection to Your Heritage
Frame a coin from the country your family came from. A piece of ancestry — something real, something that lasts.
A Symbol of Culture and Depth
Coins aren’t just currency — they’re miniature monuments. Framed and displayed, they offer a refined sense of worldliness and presence in any space.
A Thoughtful, One-of-a-Kind Gift
Perfect for birthdays, retirements, graduations, weddings, or citizenship celebrations. Choose a coin from a meaningful year, place, or theme, and turn it into a gift that will be kept for life.
A Quiet Statement of Personal Meaning
Maybe it was a coin you found on a trip. Or something a loved one once carried. Or a piece you kept without knowing why. Framed with care, it becomes something more — not just an object, but a story told in metal and light.
Attaching The Coin Is Simple, Secure, and Every Frame-Friendly
Every ARTifacts display includes a set of discreet, peel-and-stick rare earth magnets designed to attach the coin holder to the front surface of your chosen frame or display glass. This elegant solution allows you to position the coin precisely where it belongs — directly aligned with the printed image — without adhesives, drilling, or permanent mounting.
The system works with virtually any frame style, from traditional matted formats to minimalist float frames — and even plaque-mounted images or shadowboxes. Whether you're using standard glass, acrylic, or a solid display surface, the magnets provide strong, reliable hold while keeping your coin fully removable, protected, and beautifully presented.
Clean. Flexible. Collector-approved.
Please Note: Frames Not Included
To give you full flexibility in how you display your piece, framing is not included with your ARTifacts package. This allows you to choose a frame that best suits your home, office, or display environment — whether you're matching existing décor or creating a custom look, you have the freedom to update, rearrange, or reframe as your space evolves.
It also helps us avoid the risk and cost of shipping glass, which is fragile and often requires oversized packaging. By sourcing a frame locally, you’ll ensure a safer, more seamless experience — and get the perfect match for your interior.
If you're unsure what size frame to purchase, or would like framing recommendations, we're happy to help.
For the Collector Who Values Every Detail.
Whether they’re building a registry set, preserving a family collection, or documenting a new find, professional coin photography makes all the difference. A Coin Photography Studio gift card is the perfect way to help a fellow collector showcase their coins with clarity, precision, and artistry.
