22-Carat Gold Bullion Coins

Some popular investment coins are minted in 22 carats (91.67% pure gold). Well-known examples include the Krugerrand and the American Eagle. Both coins contain exactly one troy ounce (31.103 grams) of pure gold, but additional copper and/or silver increases their total weight to 33.93 grams. These metals do not affect the value but alter the colour and make the coin more resistant to scratches than a 24-carat gold coin. The copper also gives the coin a distinct sound, making it easy to verify authenticity.
