Can you imagine if you owned a 100kg gold in one shape? According to Reuters source, a spanish precious metals trading company bought the world's largest gold coin for 3.27 million euros equal to USD 4.02 million. This "OMG" gold is the Canadian Maple Leaf coins $1,000,000 produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.


Interesting info that the diameter of gold coin is around 53cm (21 inches) and have 3cm thickness. The purity is 99.999 percent which mean the purest type in the market.
