Kind of surprising that they're handling it without gloves on. Maybe it makes no difference with pure gold.

I wonder who "owns" it, and how much it's worth.

I guess if it was minted by the rulers of Egypt it belongs to Egypt. I suppose the Israelis will send it to Egypt about the same time the British send the Elgin marbles back to Greece and the Russians send Priam’s treasure to Turkey.
