Their fundamental bands do not overlap: a genuine Gold Britannia 1 oz rings 3.28–3.94 kHz while a genuine Gold Krugerrand 1 oz rings 4.30–4.96 kHz. The ping alone separates these two coins — before you even reach for a scale. Frequencies are computed from each coin's published mass, diameter, and metal via free circular-plate physics — see the methodology.
