    Not trying to sound like a doubter here, but those pieces seem a bit large to be solid at that price (I think its in Euros?).

    Was in Tokyo, but i believe these creations were priced either in both yen and euros and the prices you can see I think was per gram! most of them were around 200 grams. Very busy shop too!

    if you enlarge the shot by clicking on it you will see both the weights and 24k. I spent over 2 hours in this bullion dealer to make a purchase and i am certain they are the solid and real thing. 2-3 security guards on the whole time.

    yes there was a very large premium over spot for these purchases. I was silly enough to pay around 50% over spot for my purchase and it was not nearly as elaborate as those pictured!
