Gold coins are usually made up of an alloy such as gold or silver with other metals mixed into it to help make it last longer and make it more durable. A good example of fineness of gold is a gold ingot marked .999 fine which boils down 999/1000 pure gold with the other 1/000 being a different alloy. Because of 1.000 fines is too soft for coinage or ingots and it’s been widely accepted that .999 is 24kt gold.

Platinum is relatively new to coinage, only having been fully integrated into coins after the discovery of the New World by Spanish adventurers during the Renaissance era. Originally, platinum was a little respected precious metal. During a long stretch where platinum was worth less than silver, not more than 200 years ago, it was often used by forgers to replace the silver in coins so that they could profit heavily in trade with unsuspecting merchants.
This is not the case anymore, as platinum has become revered for its scarcity and numerous industrial uses as well as coveted the world over for its durability and beauty. Most platinum coins are not minted for general use as the precious metal value is too high. Coins that contain platinum are generally made as investment grade coins or commemorative coins marking some significant event in the issuing nation’s history.
