I know these will not appeal to everyone, but I thought they might interest some.

They are 'desktop' displays (I can also see these used on a shelf on in a curio cabinet) that hold medals/coins (chips) upright in slots.

Take a look at US Medals.

Another item available here is custom made brass plaques in .75 x 1.5 inch through 2 x 4 inch sizes.
