fine gold

Refined precious metal

Fine gold is gold of high purity, typically 99.5% or higher.

The term distinguishes refined, nearly pure gold from alloys mixed with other metals for durability or color.

The coins were struck from fine gold.

In jewelry and bullion contexts, fine gold represents the standard for measuring precious metal content.
