For the first time ever, one fan will have the opportunity to own a piece of the most elusive trophy in Australian sport – the 2013 AFL Premiership Cup.
Since 1897, 117 Premiership Cups have been made. It’s sacred metal, lusted after by every player in the league, and every fan in the country. What isn’t commonly known is that when every Premiership Cup is forged, approximately 42.2 grams of this precious metal are left behind.
The AFL, have taken this metal and turned it into a one-of-a-kind piece of history to be sold to the highest bidder.
Based on today’s market commodity price, if the ingot sells for AUD$2,113.10 it will have officially become the world’s most precious metal, worth even more than gold or platinum.
All proceeds from the sale of this historic item will be going to Ladder, the AFL’s official charity for tackling youth homelessness.
Hand made by a master jeweler, then mounted and framed, it’s the first time any league in the world has offered such a piece to the public.
