If a gold coin or any other gold article is of say 24, 22, 20, 18, 14,9 carats, then it contains 24, 22, 20, 18, 14, 9 parts of pure gold, and the remaining parts are alloy. Therefore we may consider that a golden jewel at 22 carats has a standard of 0'915 — 20 — — 0-832 — 18 — — 0-750 — 14 — — 0-593 — 9 — — 0-375 but these standards are observed only when an official Law of Control is imposed, as it is in France. 0-950 is the standard for platinum used in jewels and works of art. 0-950 - 0-800 are the standards used for silverware.
