mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 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?

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 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...

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
