gold coins

Pirate chest contents

Gold coins are coins made of gold, historically used as currency and now primarily collected or held as investments.

The phrase often appears in contexts of treasure, pirate lore, or fantasy games: The chest was filled with gold coins.

Unlike bullion bars, gold coins may carry numismatic value beyond their metal content.
