I found this coin and it looks wierd. I did the magnet test and it didnt stick. I did a scratch and it's still gold color. Has that reddish 24k color. But I weigh it and its 13.3 grams. Says 1 troy ounce. Could this be a gold commerative coin? That's cheaper than the original? please help. Thanks all.

First off, welcome.

13.3 grams certainly isn't 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams would be). So this'd seem to be a take-off on a popular brand of silver round, but made of some base metal alloy.

I have seen plated versions of other bullion coins used for displays but the ones I have seen were marked properly.

Correction some, but not all were properly marked.
