In March 2017, a 100-kg .99999 Gold Maple Leaf was brazenly stolen from Berlin’s Bode Museum. Now, more than two years later, four men are on trial for the theft.
The coin was only one of five that the Royal Canadian Mint produced and was on loan to the museum. The coin has not been located.
Here is a link to a Bloomberg illustrated sketch of the theft and trial: It Took Only 16 Minutes for Thieves to Swipe a Million-Dollar Gold Coin.
