Gold is naturally resistant to forming an oxide, also called a tarnish or rust. Additional processes ensure that, unlike other metals, the margins of a gold Aurum® will never show any tarnish. This means that your Aurum® will retain the high sheen and clear color even after years of storage and exposure to air.
Some Aurum® are legal tender currency in a specific jurisdiction, while the value of other Aurum® are based on the underlying value of the gold, or their collectibility. All Aurum® bear a legal tender notice, unless the particular product is clearly not a currency.

A number of brick and mortar coin stores carry Aurum®. Valaurum is currently not attending trade shows and do not have a retail space where you can see an Aurum® in person before purchasing.
