Gold coins

Most historians agree that the first coins were struck in the Kingdom of Lydia around the 7th century BC. They were made of electrum: a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver.

Gold and silver are two of the oldest materials used as a form of currency in the world and are now very popular in the trading world.

There are two ways to measure the purity of gold coins – Karat and fineness. It is expressed in units of parts per 1,000. The purest form of gold, i.e., 24KT, when measured in fineness shows 999.9 parts per thousand of purity.

Gold is a timeless gift in many cultures, representing love, prosperity, and wealth. More than that, it is a form of savings that will hold its value. Coins, medals and bars made of precious metals make wonderful presents for everybody. Not only are these gifts novel and unique, but they’re also excellent investments thanks to their bullion value.
