Cases unlock in order, like levels. This is case 112 of 200.
Numismaticnumismatic Relating to the study and collecting of coins, medals and banknotes. Museum of Berlin, on Museum Island, Friday, 10:00 am. In the early hours of Monday, between 3:20 and 3:45 am, the Hundred-Kilo Sun vanished from the armored display case in the coin cabinet.
It is a coin of pure gold, one hundred kilos and over half a meter wide, lent by a collector and valued at almost four million euros. The case was smashed with an axe. Its alarm went off when the coin was already out of the room.
On the other side of the wall runs the commuter rail viaduct. Whoever took the coin left through a window, crossed the tracks and disappeared into the park below. Four days later, no trace of it.
Three people know this museum and these tracks at night. One of them opened the way for the gold.
The coin cabinet of an old museum, with a shattered armored case and an empty pedestal.
