<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2148580, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with Doug. No ancient coins were white gold, so whoever said that is lying to you. The coin pictured looks like a silver Mughal piece. Some ancient and medieval coins were debased gold, but they always tried to keep them gold colored as much as possible. No ancients ever tried to make white gold, since that would destroy the value of the gold inside.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, the history of white gold is during WWII platinum, which previously had been popular in jewelry, was unavailable. They made white gold then as a substitute for platinum. I do not think ancient or medieval people even had a notion of what white gold would be.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, bottom line, any time someone tries to tell you a coin is white gold, you are sure of one thing, the man is a liar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
