Overview
- The woman from Birgland received a comparable gold coin from precious-metals dealer Philoro late last week, the company said.
- Philoro said it mounted an online campaign to locate the victim after the case drew coverage.
- Bayerischer Rundfunk first reported the handover and facilitated contact between the two.
- Police said the buyer had paid €3,300 cash on delivery for a classifieds purchase, but her father accepted the parcel unchecked and a cucumber was inside.
- The dealer called the gesture a one-time exception intended to promote safer gold-buying practices.
