Certificate of Authenticity (CoA)

A Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) is a document that verifies the legitimacy of an item, typically in art, collectibles, or memorabilia. It confirms that the item is genuine and often provides details about its origin, the artist or manufacturer, and its history. The CoA is important for buyers as it helps ensure they are purchasing a real, rather than a fake or reproduction, thus maintaining the item’s value. It is often signed by an expert or authority in the field, providing additional assurance of the item's authenticity.
