Forgot to ask if there was anything on the rim like a stamp or writing, also a acid scratch test would probably help alot.

I will take it for a acid test to check, but think its plated as well

50mm? That's probably 2-3 ounces of gold, a $4000+ purchase. That's huge for a gold coin. Ain't no way.

We have ultra accurate scales at work so will see I saw a gold plated coin with same dimensions weighs 45grams soooo if it weighs more it must be gold

Where did you find it? If you bought or found it for less than $100, it's not gold.

Rough calculation indicates that at the indicated size it ought to be about 117gm if pure gold.
