mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 510 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 09:15 am Got a bunch of these mini gold coins replicas, can anyone give me more information about them? Who, why and when they were made? Most importantly are they real gold or just gold plated? Thanks #129303; Report this Post to the Staff

keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 4372 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 3:57 pm I'm not seeing gold at all Report this Post to the Staff
mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 510 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 2:32 pm @Spence @keith12 Well I did a bit of acid test but for 14k gold and its inconclusive... so it might be lower gold content (8k) or gold plated but I dont have a lower gold test... Might be wrong tho As you say jeweler might be best bet. But I thought someone came across these before, because I see them selling online and some even promoted as actual gold replicas...

Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 629 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 5:35 pm Most of these "tokens" are cheap tourist souvenirs. Notice that they are not hallmarked or stamped with a purity marker. Why might that be? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 5623 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 6:41 pm If real hood they should have a mark with the gold %, for example I have a 14k .5 gram coin and it has 585 for the gold % My Slabbed 7070 Type Set My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
