Doubt in Ammeter: Shunt Resistor or Inductance?

[snb]

The other day I happened to open an ammeter just out of curiosity.
What I saw was that across the positive and negative terminals a wire of considerable thickness(almost equal to the thickness of wires we use for household joints) was wound..It just had 4 or 5 turns.
I guess it should be the shunt resistor (though it wasn't a "resistor" also there was no resistor in series )...but then the fact that the wire was wound brought to my mind a doubt whether inductance has any role to play in it ?
Am I right ?

Yes, it was a shunt resistor as the meter movement was probably 1000 times more sensitive than 'amps'.

No, at the low frequencies the meter was designed for, the inductance of a few turns makes no difference. RF ammeters work on entirely different principles.
