This Bespoke Mini Coin Wallet 5×4 cm shows how a very small leather coin holder can be adapted in practice so it stays usable as well as compact. Trezah Nabwire Luganji completed it in British Racing Green leather with a silver metal clip and a slightly adjusted size to better hold a few coins securely.
- Request: The goal was a miniature coin wallet for carrying just a few coins, with a classic rounded shape, a flat base, discreet stitching, and a lightweight feel.
- Final result: The finished wallet was made at 5 × 4 cm rather than the smaller initial size, allowing the clasp to work properly and giving enough room for several coins to fit more comfortably.
- Design details: Visible details included British Racing Green leather, a silver metal clip closure, sturdy but slim construction, and a smooth leather lining to help keep the inside neat and easy to use.
- Fit and use: This compact format suited someone who wanted a tiny coin purse for everyday carry, especially for a small number of coins without the bulk of a standard wallet.
- Process: The project included sourcing the metal clip, sharing progress images and videos before shipping, and final feedback confirmed that the wallet arrived high quality and exactly as described.

A request by Robert from Königswinter, Germany
I would like a mini wallet with a leather clasp in the color British Racing Green. The wallet should have a length of 4 cm and a height of 3 cm. A small metal clip serves as the closure. It is primarily intended for a few coins – a maximum of four two-euro coins will fit inside. The leather should be sturdy but as thin as possible so that the wallet remains light and easy to handle. The seams should be neatly finished and as discreet as possible. The inner lining can be made of a thin material to prevent the coins from slipping. Ideally, the wallet should be similar to the classic design of small coin purses: round shape, flat bottom and easy to open and close.

Thanks for your detailed description, Robert. I understand you’re looking for a very compact, sturdy mini wallet in British Racing Green leather, with a round, flat-bottomed shape—just big enough for four two-euro coins—and a metal clip closure with a discreet appearance overall.
This is doable.
For the inner lining, would you prefer a smooth leather or Cotton? This could help prevent coins from slipping while keeping things slim.

Smooth leather would be great!

Have a look at our silver clip
(Automatic translation) Feb 5, 2026, 9:59 a.m.: Robert Wow, very nice 👍
Hello Robert that's our clasp , the measurements of 3×4were a bit so tonny and not allowing the few coins to fit in well so I had to make it 5×4.
H=5
W=4 to balance because the clip almost took the entire space on the height of 3 .
Kindly have a look.
(Automatic translation) February 11, 2026, 11:17 a.m.: Robert That's very nice!
Thank you indeed.
I'll do some nice videos and photos.
Before shipping.
