Thanks Nigel. You've hit in on the head. I've got two of them, anyway. Gold is fairly malleable so a simple test is to bend it, and so one of them is snapped. They're too thin to be used in bridlework and too small for a wrist. Ideal for stringing though. It's really hard to distinguish between gold and brass without a testing kit, I've found. I've not tried selling 'ring money' on eBay yet - got a lovely aureus that I'm trying to shine up though, and am starting to recognise sword bits.
