Nordic gold is a gold-coloured copper alloy consisting of 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin. It's been used for coinage, most notable the 50 cent, 20 cent, and 10 cent Euro coins. The alloy was originally developed for the Swedish 10-krona coin, from which the name originates.

It contains no gold and its colour and weight are quite unlike pure gold. It is non-allergenic; its other advantages include antimycotic and weak antimicrobial (especially after abrasion) attributes, and resistance to tarnishing.
