Description
Ever found yourself fumbling for coins at the market or forgetting your ducats when visiting the moneylender? A small coin pouch like this one would have been a trusted companion for any traveler or tradesman in days gone by, as pockets were scarce and often impractical for carrying loose change.
Measuring 19 cm (7.5 inches) across, this pouch is crafted from 100% genuine buffalo leather, known for its toughness and durability. The leather’s natural grain and sturdy texture ensure it can withstand the rigors of daily use. It secures with leather cords, a simple yet effective fastening method common in medieval times to keep coins safe and accessible. Since this is authentic buffalo leather, it’s important to protect it from moisture to prevent damage. Regular cleaning with a soft linen cloth will preserve its condition, and for tougher stains, a damp cloth with a mild soap can be used sparingly.
Fun fact: In medieval Europe, coin pouches like this were often worn attached to belts or girdles, making them not just practical but also a subtle status symbol, as the quality of one’s pouch could hint at their wealth or trade.
