With the recent ton vs tonne debate, here it is: the ultimate gold

Yeah, OK, but (obligatory metalworking content) it's just a disk
unless it was shaped by die pressure (coined). So, it's not
really a coin, unless one of those stamp-out-tank-turret
bits of heavy machinery was employed to shape it, against
a carefully sculpted reverse-carved die.
Good point it's a casting, so that would make it bullion, correct? A
coin needs to be "coined" in a press.
