Hungarian commemorative coins - Cu75Ni4Zn21

4 publicações • visualizado 75 vezes

Hello all,
So far, 30+ different types of Hungarian forint commemorative coins have the composition of Cu75Ni4Zn21.
This particular alloy has different names in the Numista catalog.
All of them may be correct, but I would like it to be consistent.
What do you suggest?

What a mess.

- Nordic gold is definitely not correct as it has aluminium in it and no nickel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_gold 

- Alpakka and nickel silver are the same thing. It has a different ratio though from the other coins in the list (60%Cu, 20%Ni, 20%Zn) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_silver 

- The sixth example has a typo in it ('coppe' instead of ‘copper’)

They should all be referred to as nickel brass and keep the compositions.

I am a proponent of elemental symbols as they are one of the few universal things used regardless of the uses script and additional comments are usually not translated.
