4. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this coin come with a bail or chain?
A: No. This listing is for the solid gold coin medallion only. To wear it as a pendant, you must purchase a compatible 14K gold bezel setting with a bail separately. It can also be set directly into a classic Centenario coin ring.

Q: Is this a solid gold coin or a plated replica?
A: This is 100% solid 14K yellow gold (58.5% pure gold content). It is not gold-plated over silver or base metal. The weight of 28.2g reflects the density of solid gold (approx. 19.3g/cm³), confirming its solid construction.

Q: What is the gold content purity?
A: The metal is solid 14K gold, which is 58.5% pure gold alloyed with metals for durability. While the coin face mimics the text "37.5 Gr. ORO PURO" from original silver versions, this specific piece is a solid 14K gold artifact.
