Papal States Gold Coins
The coin denomination used by Papal States include zecchino, (plural zecchini), and lira (plural lire). The lira coins were denominated in amounts of 12, 24, 48, and 96. These values seem strange to us now because we are all used to the decimal system. According to Krause, the 48 lire coins were struck in .909 fine gold which strikes us as unusual, we would have expected them to be in 22 carat (.9166) as with the other three lire denominations. We have used the fineness quoted by Krause, as the editors may have greater knowledge than ours. | | 12 Lire | | 3.1515 | 0.0929 | 2.88951 | 0.9166 | ITALY | San Marino Gold Coins

Apart from the early countermarked Spanish coins, no Jamaican gold coins were issued before decimalisation, the earliest being 1972. All Jamaican gold coins are commemoratives. | | 100 Dollars (1978 - 1979) | 26 | 11.34 | 0.3281 | 10.20505 | 0.9 | JAMAICA | Japanese Gold Coins

Kuwait issued its first coins in 1961, but did not issue any gold coins until 1981, since when a number of different commemorative issued have been released.Kuwaiti gold coins are denominated in Dinars. | | 50 Dinars, 1986 | 28.44 | 16.966 | 0.5 | 15.55174 | 9170 | KUWAIT | | 50 Dinars, 1991, Kuwait Free | 28.3 | 16.996 | 0.5 | 15.55174 | 9170 | KUWAIT | | 100 Dinars, 1981 | 28 | 15.98 | 0.4711 | 14.65285 | 9170 | KUWAIT | Kyrgyzstan Gold Coins

Latvia first issued gold coins in 1993. Although their currency unit is the Lat (LVL), Krause states that 100 Santimu = 1 Lats, having added an "S". Also on the coins themselves, the denomination is shown on the 10, 20, and 100 units as "Latu", whereas on the 5 unit coin it is shown as "Lati". There appears to be some confusion about both the singular and plural forms of the name of the currency. | | 100 Latu 1993 | | 13.338 | 0.2501 | 7.77898 | 0.8333 | LATVIA | | 100 Latu 198 | 24 | 16.2 | 0.5203 | 16.18314 | 0.999 | LATVIA | | 10 Latu 1997 - 1998 | | 1.2441 | 0.04 | 1.24414 | 0.9999 | LATVIA | | 10 Latu 1999 | 18.5 | 3.11 | 0.0583 | 1.81333 | 0.583 | LATVIA |
