Their fundamental bands overlap (4.31–4.91 vs 4.26–4.85 kHz), so a single ping may not separate a Silver Britannia 1 oz from a Silver Krugerrand 1 oz — combine the ring with the weight and diameter checks, which differ. Frequencies are computed from each coin's published mass, diameter, and metal via free circular-plate physics — see the methodology.
