A heraldic term describing a golden or yellow color used in coats of arms and medieval designs, representing the color of gold metal.
From Old French 'aurure' (golden color), derived from Latin 'aureus' (golden). In heraldry, it names one of the two metals (alongside argent/silver) and represents precious golden tones.
In heraldry, aurure is rarely used—most heraldic documents simply say 'or' (French for gold), making aurure almost a fancy synonym that fell out of fashion even among medieval kings and knights!
