Actual gold weight
The actual gold weight (AGW) of a bullion coin or bar is the amount of fine, pure, or intrinsic gold content in troy ounces.(1) It is typically used to describe gold or silver coins.
For example, if a certain coin weighed 12/11 troy ounces, and the alloy contained 1/12 part of non-gold metals, the actual gold weight would be one troy ounce.
