Ancient Coin Displays, Custom Coin Holders & Historical Figurines for Collectors, History Lovers and Miniature Painters
Welcome to Aurea Displays, where ancient coins meet the people and history behind them.
Aurea Displays creates custom 3D-printed ancient coin displays and historically inspired figurines based on figures from the ancient world.
The idea started with a simple question: why display an ancient coin on a generic stand when the display itself can tell part of its story?
That led to a collection of Roman emperors and empresses, Greek rulers, deities and other historical figures designed to sit alongside the coins connected to their time.
HISTORICALLY INSPIRED
Each historical figure is designed using surviving sculptures, busts, ancient coin portraits and historical references wherever these are available.
The goal is not simply to create a generic Roman or Greek-looking figure, but a recognisable representation inspired by the surviving evidence for that individual.
CUSTOM-FIT ANCIENT COIN DISPLAYS
Ancient coins are rarely identical.
Their diameter, thickness and even shape can vary considerably after nearly two thousand years, which is why Aurea Displays coin holders can be adapted to the individual coins they are intended to hold.
Displays can be created for one, two or three coins, allowing Roman denarii and other small ancient coins to be presented alongside the historical figure connected with them.
The coins rest naturally in their holders without glue, adhesives or metal clips.
HISTORICAL FIGURINES
Most figures can also be created as standalone historical figurines without coin holders.
They can be displayed on a bookshelf, desk, cabinet or alongside an existing collection of ancient history, numismatic or classical objects.
The collection continues to grow with new emperors, empresses, rulers and personalities from antiquity.
PAINT THEM YOURSELF
Aurea Displays figurines can be kept in their clean statue-like finish or used as a miniature-painting project.
Collectors and miniature painters can add their own colours to clothing, armour, skin, accessories and other details using suitable miniature or model paints.
This gives you the option of keeping the classical sculpture-inspired appearance or creating your own interpretation of the historical figure.
CUSTOM DESIGNS
Have a particular emperor, empress, ruler, deity or historical character in mind?
Custom requests are welcome and can include:
• Historical figures not currently in the collection
• Coin holders fitted to your individual coins
• Displays for one, two or three coins
• Different figure sizes
• Alternative poses or design details
• Standalone figurines without coin holders
Reference images, archaeological material, ancient portraits and other information can be used where available to help guide the design.
DESIGNED & 3D PRINTED IN THE NETHERLANDS
Each Aurea Displays piece is designed with collectors in mind and 3D printed to order in the Netherlands.
The aim is simple: to create displays that connect a collectible with the person, culture and period behind it.
Whether you collect Roman denarii, ancient Greek coins or historical figurines, are searching for an unusual gift for a history enthusiast, or want your next miniature-painting project, I hope you find a piece of history here worth adding to your collection.
