A koronta is a piece of metal that looks like gold but is not; in other words, fool's gold. It looks like gold but is false and can fool someone who is drunk or not experienced with knowing how true gold appears.
The young man was wearing a large cross around his neck made of koronta, but you could see from the poor workmanship and the green ring around his neck that it was obviously factitious.
