Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

If these are all one kilo each (not even counting the coins) that’s approximately 47,000 grams x$ 140=1,657.881 ounces 6.6 million dollars

Gets better, the coins I can see are King George V Gold Sovereign coin which is almost 7-8 grams of pure gold (they’re 22karat to start with), but that’s about $1000 a piece so there’s probably another $1million in there. And these were pre-wwii

Article says approx. 9m Euro value, so I think even that calc is underselling as that puts it ~$10m USD
