Silver 1 oz African Wildlife specifications and ping frequencies

The Silver 1 oz African Wildlife is a silver coin from Somalia (2018–2026), weighing 31.1 g with a diameter of 39 mm. Tapped gently on its edge, a genuine one rings at about 4.6 kHz, 10.2 kHz and 17.5 kHz: its first resonance frequencies, set by its metal, size and thickness. A counterfeit made of a different metal, or with a different weight or thickness, rings at different frequencies, which is what the ping test above checks.
