Care Instructions

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid touching the surfaces, as oils from the skin can cause damage or tarnish. Store it in a protective, inert holder (such as an archival-safe coin capsule or slab) to prevent scratches, environmental exposure, and further deterioration. Do not clean the coin, as this can severely reduce its numismatic value.
