    Hey. Please help me identify this coin / order. I have found so far that on one side there is a picture from a commemorative coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20472.html
    The other side does not fit into the above image. On the coin is minted 750 gold. I do not know if it is gilded or all gold. The weight is 28grams. Thank you

    It is a souvenir 'coin' from Hong Kong. Not old, ca 1990-now. The gold content is probably not correct. Pretty, but not much value. The gold plated ones are ca $2.50 on alibaba.
    Do you have a gold and silver testing set?

    Not a coin.
    A coin has to be monetized and have a denomination.
    Its a medallion and I would guess its plated rather than gold.

    the 750 is marked on the holder not the medallion..
