Civic Crown

[Corvus]

Considering the fact that the Civic crown was made out of oak leaves, how did the person show afterwards that he was awarded this honor?
I mean being made of organic material, it would fall apart at some point and I doubt a new oak leave  crown would be made...

Holders were also later given a golden crown of the same to show they held the award.

Basically a golden oak leave crown?
Are there any sources that describing that?

Would be interesting to see a reconstruction of it.
