I was looking at a Chinese Panda coin, it says this on it: first it has a bunch of chinese symbols, after that it says . 999 1/2oz Au, at the bottom of the coin it says 50.
What I am wondering, is this an actual 1/2 oz gold coin. Does the Au mean anything negative towards its value?
Au is the chemical symbol for gold. This must mean that the coin is 1/2 an ounce and 99.9% gold, with possibly a very very small percentage of other metals mixed in. It seems to me that this is a real gold coin, of course anyone can write anything on a coin that they want, but the Au certainly isn’t negative. Good for you, seems like a valuable coin.
AU means Almost Uncirculated
I believe AU is the hallmark for gold which is an abreviation for its origin

AU is the chemical symbol for gold. Short for it’s Latin name. .999 is it’s purity (bullion grade)

I believe thats the mint that it was struck at. I would have to see the coin
