  • Details of the number, nature, and value of the Prizes:

    • Tier 1 (1 winner): Round-trip travel and accommodations to Miami, FL for an exclusive GLD pop-up experience at Art Basel (travel class, accommodations, and total budget at the Sponsor’s sole discretion), plus the full prize awarded at each of Tiers 2 and 3 below.

    • Tier 3 (38 winners): one (1) GLD Collector's Coin ("The Collector's Coin"). Of these 38, 25 will be selected by the Sponsor at its sole discretion from among GLD's existing customers (see Section 6.2 below); the remaining 13 will be selected by random draw.

  • The approximate retail value of the Prizes is $4,000 for Tier 1; Tier 2 is capped at $1,500 USD per winner; Tier 3 (Collector's Coin only) is $500.
