Care and Storage

To keep the coin looking its best, store it in the provided pouch away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid dropping or rubbing the coin against abrasive surfaces to preserve the enamel colors. The finish is designed to last, but gentle handling will maintain its appearance for years.
