Forum:Is there any information on an official gold/silver Dark Magician Girl coin produced by Konami?

Hello Yu-gi-oh Wikia!

First I want to say I really appreciate this website. There is no other place like this Wikia with this much volume of information on Yugioh and though I'm new to the forums I frequent this site on an almost daily/weekly basis. Now for my discussion:

I consider myself a fairly serious yugioh collector. In particular, my collection focuses on Dark Magician Girl, as it contains every printing of DMG (including both the Rare and Secret Rare G3-11 promo). More information regarding the G3-11 promo can be found in the following article: Now, this article, while relatively short, is as far as I can tell the most comprehensive article on this tournament. But while the article is detailed, I would like to know if there was an additional gold and silver coin that was distributed to the winners of that tournament.

The reason I bring this up is because I have seen only a few listings of these coins (some of which can be found here: and here ). According to that second source, only 450 of these coins were distributed as commemorative coins, but the date says August 26, which is questionably different from the stated end date (27th) in the Wikia article, and nowhere on the internet is there a discussion of these coins with respect to the G3-11 event. I have also never heard of these coins myself, being a Dark Magician Girl collector for years. I have spoken with a few knowledgeable collectors and dealers who were familiar with the G3-11 card, and none of them know about these coins.

I'd like to know, for anyone who may have personally gone to this Asia Tournament back in 2000, if these coins were really given out to the winners, or if they are official products made by Konami. Because if they are, then it might be a valuable addition to the Wikia article on this tournament. But my theory, and I might be going on a limb here, is that these coins could have been individually manufactures by a third party and/or had nothing to do with the event back in 2000. I don't want to so quickly accuse that these coins are fake, or that the information was falsely made up, but the fact that this site's article doesn't mention these coins and nobody else has really heard of them inevitably makes them a little suspicious as to whether they are official.

If anybody has any information on this, or anything else that could be added on to this tournament/event, it would be very helpful and I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure the rest of the community would as well. Thank you!
