Insure the thing. Tell her if anyone wants it and applies duress just give it to them. Be sensible about it.
It's a piece of metal with a prescribed value. Do just as you would with your car, insure it, look after it as best you can but if someone puts a gun in your face demanding it - give it to them. Insurance will replace it and despite the sentimental value of a heirloom - if the only way to keep it safe is to lock it in a safe then whats the point ?
