Solid Gold Christmas Tree With Gold Coin Baubles Is Worth GBP 4.3 Million

This is the five gold blings moment the world’s most expensive Christmas tree of this year is put on a show – made of EUR 5.2 million worth of solid golden coins.

The three-metre-tall tree, which weighs more than 60 kilos, was created by Munich bullion dealers Pro Aurum and contains 2,024 gold Vienna Philharmonic coins to celebrate its 35th anniversary.

And to set it off instead of a star or an angel on top, its creators settled for an extra large 24-carat coin.

The Philharmonic is one of the world’s best-selling collector coins, explained an expert at Goldsmiths Pro Aurum, who said they had to work with the Austrian State Mint to realise the project.

Spokesman Benjamin Summa said: “The gold Christmas tree illustrates this timeless meaning of precious metal in an impressive way.”

And to take the pressure off any multi-millionaires being pestered to buy something for the partner who has everything, Pro Aurum has made it clear – the tree is not for sale.

It was on show at the company’s offices in Munich for three days but is not, however, the most expensive Christmas tree ever.

In 2010 the most expensive tree in history was put up at Abu Dhabi, at the luxury Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, which was decorated with gold, diamonds and pearls as well as sapphires and emeralds.
