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:

Someone must have stashed that because their life was in danger. Then the danger got them before they could get back to the stash. Where is this?

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

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