I personally only have one coin with golden toning, this antoninianus of Gallienus. It's not a special coin by any means, but the toning makes it look pretty nice in my opinion. Dang, thats exceptional silvering, especially for a later Gallienus issue, with very little silver content. Quote

The silvering actually looks a lot brighter in pictures than in hand. The coin has a greyish patina that makes the surface silvering look a lot less pure than it actually is (though from certain angles you can see the shiny silvering just like in the photo) Edited May 27, 2022 by Zimm 1 Quote
