Abstract
Abstract Transparent, flanged, mating cups encapsulate a coin, medallion or other disc. A cup holder having one or more recesses receives the cups and disc. Each recess is countersunk in obverse and reverse faces to receive the cup flanges. Each cup has locator protuberances. The outer cup locators fit cavities in the holder recess wall. The inner cup locators grip the disc. The cups have mechanically latching annuli which engage to hold the cups together and retain the cups in the holder.
