A painted wooden box (Death be not Proud, brothers De'Ath)

The box was old--very old, really, but cared for so well that it was hard to tell from a distance. The paint had chipped slightly at the corners, and one panel was slightly dented, like the wood had met a corner of something harder than it at speed.

It held antique coins, though by the size of it it might once have held a seal and wax. If it had, the seal was long gone, lost or consigned to a museum they hadn't spotted yet, and the coins were all the sort that had seen circulation, that might have been given as change in some time long gone by.
