<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2254975, member: 19165&quot;]Where did the Sassanians source their metal? If found in nature, its common enough to find a silver-gold alloy known as electrum. Heck, the first coins were made from electrum. I would have thought metallurgy would have progressed to the point where they could remove most of the gold, but its not unbelievable that there would be a bit left. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have any fakes that you could test, to see what they are made of?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
