Overview
- Pro Aurum is exhibiting the coin on Tuesday at its Charlottenburg branch on Hardenbergstrasse for a single day.
- Branch manager Steffi Tränkler says the coin is insured and "at all times secured," while specific protective measures remain undisclosed.
- Only 15 examples of the oversized coin exist, minted by the Austrian Mint in 2004 to mark the Wiener Philharmoniker anniversary.
- The coin carries a legal face value of €100,000, though its gold content is worth roughly €3.2 million at current prices.
- Reports note armed, round-the-clock guarding at other showings as coverage revisits the 2017 theft of the 100-kilogram 'Big Maple Leaf,' which produced convictions in 2020 but no recovery of the coin.
