Question: Were the coins stored in Ornate boxes?

Candidate passages:
The German name has largely ousted the original English name "marchpane" with the same apparent derivation: "March bread."
(The word "marchpane" occurs in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Act 1, Scene 5, Line 9.)
"Marzapane" is documented earlier in Italian than in any other language, and the sense "bread" for "pan" is Romance.
The origin could be from the Latin term "martius panis", which means "bread of March".
However, the ultimate etymology is unclear; for example, the Italian word derives from the Latin words "Massa" (itself from Greek Μάζα "Maza") meaning pastry and "Pan" meaning bread, this can be particularly seen in the Provençal "massapan", the Portuguese "maçapão" (where 'ç' is an alternative form for the phoneme 'ss') and old Spanish "mazapán" - the change from 'ss' to 'z' in Latin words was common in old Spanish and the 'r' appeared later.
Though, it could also be derived from martis pan, bread of March.
Among the other possible etymologies set forth in the Oxford English Dictionary, one theory proposes that the word "marzipan" may be a corruption of Martaban, a Burmese city famous for its jars.
The Real Academia Española suggests the idea of the Spanish word mazapán to be derived from the Hispanic Arabic بسمة pičmáṭ, which is derived from the Greek παξαμάδιον.
Another source could be from Arabic موثابان "mawthābān" "king who sits still."
The Arabic, Latinized as "matapanus", was used to describe a Venetian coin depicting an enthroned Christ the King.
These coins were stored in ornate boxes.
From about the fifteenth century, when the coins were no longer in circulation, the boxes became decorative containers for storing and serving luxury sweetmeats.
One such luxury that crept into the box in the sixteenth century is the now-famous almond-flavored marzipan, named (at least proximately) after the box in which it was stored.
However, if marzipan has its origin in Persia, it is not unlikely that the name may come from Marzban (in Persian: مرزبان, derived from the words Marz مرز meaning "border" or "boundary" and the suffix -bān بان meaning guardian), a class of margraves or military commanders in charge of border provinces of the Sassanid Empire of Persia (Iran) between 3rd and 7th centuries CE.
It is also a possibility that the origin of this dessert and the origin of the term come from different geographical places.
History of post boxes.
In 1653, the first post boxes are believed to have been installed in and around Paris.
By 1829, post boxes were in use throughout France.
The first public post boxes in Poland were installed in Warsaw in 1842.
A post box originally installed in the wall of the Wakefield Post Office is dated 1809 and believed to be the oldest example in Britain.
It is now on display at the new Wakefield Museum.
In the British Isles the first red pillar post boxes were erected in Jersey in 1852.
Roadside wall boxes first appeared in 1857 as a cheaper alternative to pillar boxes, especially in rural districts.
In 1853 the first pillar box in the United Kingdom was installed at Botchergate, Carlisle.
In 1856, Richard Redgrave of the Department of Science and Art designed an ornate pillar box for use in London and other large cities.
In 1859 the design was improved, and this became the first National Standard pillar box.
Green was adopted as the standard colour for the early Victorian post boxes.
Between 1866 and 1879 the hexagonal Penfold post box became the standard design for pillar boxes and it was during this period that red was first adopted as the standard colour.
The first boxes to be painted red were in London in July 1874, although it would be nearly 10 years before all the boxes had been repainted.
In 2012 to celebrate Olympic gold medals for Team GB, selected boxes are painted gold.
One has been vandalised briefly with graffiti.
One has been painted in the 'wrong' town.
The first public letter boxes (post boxes) in Russia appeared in 1848 in St. Petersburg.
They were made of wood and iron.
Because these boxes were lightweight and easy to steal, they disappeared frequently; later boxes were made of cast iron and could weigh up to 45 kilograms. 
In Quebec City, several ballot boxes containing votes from advance polls disappeared after the close of advance polling on October 7.
The boxes were stored in a closet at the home of a deputy returning officer.
Although there was no tampering of the boxes or the votes, three deputy returning officers were fired.
Deputy returning officers are the only polling officials allowed to handle ballots during the vote count and the law did allow for them to store the sealed boxes as may be necessary in large remote rural ridings.
However the boxes were returned a day late after the riding returning officer ordered their return. 
Cigar boxes are rectangular juggling props.
Cigar box manipulation began as a vaudeville act in the United States between the 1880s and 1920s, and was popularized by W. C. Fields.
Originally, performers would take actual boxes that cigars were stored in and nail them shut to create their juggling props.
Today, cigar boxes for juggling are typically purpose-built, hollow wooden or plastic blocks with suede or foam rubber padding attached to the sides.
