The recent purchase is a gilded piece.
Thought it was interesting the way the 'full-coin' pictures have come out. I found that when I zoom in close with super-macro setting, trying to optimize the detail, the coin didn't particularly look gilded. From a distance, however, without super-macro it looks much more like the gilded coin does 'in the hand'.
I'm no expert on photography, so not really sure why that happened, but show both sets below for info.
