What is the charge of a bare Magnesium nucleus (no electrons, just the protons and neutrons) in Coulombs?

1.92*10^(-18)
Mg loses two electrons when it ionizes,becoming a +2e charge.
that is 2* charge on one electron. or 2e
Now, losing all the electrons, would be most unusual in our universe. If it happened, Mg loses all 12 electrons, and its charge would be +12e
But, I have never heard of a "bare" Magnesium nucleus existing alone.
what is the value of e? 1.602176565(35)×10−19 coulombs.
