Morphology
The meaning 'a group of coins gathered and kept' is directly derived from combining 'coin' (small metal currency) with 'collection' (an assembled set), so the overall concept is fully compositional. This noun–noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns for naming sets or hobbies, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The noun coin collection comes from the simple idea of a collection of coins kept together in a box or on display. So today it often means the 'group' of coins someone keeps, whether for study, value, or enjoyment.
