Each Aurum® contains a precise and verifiable amount of 24 karat gold. Visible running edge to edge, the layer of precious metal is protected between layers of durable polymer for a high-quality, collectible product. As with all of our Aurum®, the gold is fully recoverable using standard fire assay techniques. Each Aurum® in this series is a single-sided printed piece with full-color artwork printed on the obverse and the characteristic, patented “dimensional gold” embossed effect on the reverse, making it easy to authenticate.
