Link above shows 2 varieties of the 2 Bani. One n gold, the other in copper. Both show 2 grams in weight. The gold has a slightly smaller coin size???
How can a gold coin and a copper coin be the basically same size?
Shouldn't the gold coin be smaller in size or just heavier?
Also I don't see the purity of the gold coin.
I appreciate any help on these 2 coins.
Yes I found one and looks copper but has a silver sounding ring to it.

Yes that's my question. I thought there would have to be a bigger difference than a 1/2 mm to equal the same weight? Yes? Gold is a lot heavier than copper..yes?

The gold was premium minted for some Europe Kings of the time, was offered as a gift to them.

the picture of the golden coin has been removed, the mintage of 500.000 still seems excessive for a premium coin that we don't seem to be able to find pictures off.
Any idea of real mintage?
