What is the amount of gold in the World Cup trophy, how much do you know?
Soccer fans have been curious about the football World Cup trophy long ago. What is the cost of trophies that make so much trouble? What is made by? What's in it? Many of these questions seem to be in the minds of many. However, whatever the price of the trophy can be a champion. That can not be done with any money.
But I talked about the question about the trophy when it happened. If the 14-inch (36 cm) high trophy is actually made of solid gold, then it weighs at least 70 kg (154 lbs).
The troupe of the current World Cup trophy in 1974 has been made of 'Nerett Sonar'. At the BBC News website, they described the trophy, saying that the weight of the trophy is 6.175 kg and that of '18 carat silent gold' has 4.9 kg. And with the special stone of the trophy, the altar built in it.
So how could it be worth it? In 1971, Italian sculptor Silvio Ghazzanija designed the current title. At the time of making the price of gold, the wages were all the financial value of the cup was roughly $ 50,000.
After integrating financial and non-monetary issues like inflation, the trophy price will not be less than $ 10 million. There is a comparable understanding of this amount of money market value. That is, 18-carat gold can be sculpted by two proof-size and average weight sculptures, selling the cup today!
