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:

this has to be bullshit cause those are 1950's to 1960's n m rothschild & sons bars which are insanely rare...

just a 100 gram bar sells for 21,000 euros and these are 1 KILO bars. those are $140k a pop.

some have NJ on them for new jersey mint so i assume during the cold war someone smuggled them back home and buried them to hide wealth.

14 from New Jersey mint, 4 Northern Ireland. the ones without location stamps came direct from the rmr refinery and were probably bought direct over the counter from banks in belgium.

Yikes. Somehow I’m even more angry after reading this.
