Somewhat OT - Ideas for a plaque w/coins? (UPDATED)

My son decided to launch his own financial planning business a few months ago. I intend to celebrate this by getting a plaque created that includes his company logo, May 1, 2022 establishment, and perhaps two silver eagles (showing obverse & reverse out) that are dated 2022 (pending release from the US Mint) that are imbedded in the plaque versus using currency.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas for such a gift?

    Stop by a picture framing store in your area to get some ideas.
    Most of them help customers with shadow box type displays.

    I think it's a great idea! I manage running events and also supply trophies for them. Just two weeks ago we had the Buffalo Stampede 5K Road Race. Each award had a dateless Buffalo nickel mounted with the reverse showing. The runners loved them! The only thing I would recommend is to mount the coins in capsules to protect them.

    I have a preference for using an appropriate size cross section of wood to use the natural wood grain and texture as a base for a display. Once you have your plaque size and 2 ASEs, your artistic arrangement shall follow. Good luck. Peace Roy

    That is a great idea... I would also recommend containers though, so the coin is not destroyed. The capsules can be sealed and mounted embedded, permanently. Cheers, RickO

    Maybe a $5 gold piece and a $1 gold piece for the month and date?

    Not off topic and a great idea!! I hope you'll let us see it when it's ready.

    I would definitely put the coins in a Cointains protective case. As an example;

    I am sure others sell them, I just wanted to cite my source.

    I used the mint’s containers the ASEs came in. Was that a mistake you think? Too late now anyway.

    Very nice display @Catbert
