This extra weight is due to the presence of alloying metals like copper and silver, which enhance the coin’s durability.
However, if you’re interested in purchasing gold coins in larger denominations, many mints offer gold bullion coins in weights ranging from 1 gram up to 1 kilogram. The most common and standard weight for gold bullion coins is one troy ounce, [according to Hero Bullion].
