Do gold particles from the Turin Shroud indicate its presence in the Middle East during the Byzantine Empire?

Gold and Silver Particles on the Turin Shroud, Studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Elemental Analysis

“…Sub-particles l38-1, 2, 3, 4, 7' and 12 are grains of a powder of golden alloys that are trapped in a wax. Particle e27 is possibly some part of a coin of the famous Byzantine electrum (Fanti & Furlan, 2019).…”

“…Recently, Fanti & Furlan (2019) ticles from the Turin Shroud and compared it with that of gold Byzantine coins minted during the VII-XIII Centuries. SEM-EDX studies of the triangle sample of the TS permit me to detect a total number of eighteen particles (or sub-particles) that contain gold and silver.…”

“…The e27 particle is compounded of electrum; this sort of particle could be some part of a coin of Byzantine money (according to Fanti & Furlan, 2019). In the same way, the m10 particle, of a copper/silver alloy, with lead traces, could be part of a billion (a money coin used during the Roman Antiquity).…”
