About 91.6 % gold
22 carat gold is harder than pure gold but keeps a rich colour. It is rare in German jewellery but common in bullion coins.
Mathematically, 22/24 equals 916.7 parts per thousand; the rest is usually copper, sometimes silver. Jewellery in 22 carat often comes from South Asia or Turkey, where high-carat gold is traditionally also a store of value. The Britannia was struck in 916.7 until 2012 and in 999.9 since 2013. Because the gold content is high, comparing several offers is particularly worthwhile.
