Abstract: A commemorative coin assembly includes a coin, a decorative component, and a holder that couples the component to the coin. The decorative component may be extended substantially perpendicularly from the coin's surface in a first position or alternatively inset into an outlined negative space on the coin's surface in a second position. The commemorative coin assembly depicts a central theme through the incorporation of engravings, etchings, letterings, motifs, numerals, or artistic depictions used on the decorative component or on the faces of the coin itself.
