Gold colour of the British Stater over Time

 

This image attempts to show the change in gold colour over time as the moneyers adjusted the gold/silver/copper ratios of the alloys.

 

Displaying colour on a screen is an extremely complicated process, however, and viewers should not assume the colours shown here are accurate.
