Ahead of the much-anticipated festive season German gold dealer Pro Aurum has erected the most expensive Christmas tree in all of Europe. The unusual decoration is made of gold coins worth €2.3 million ($2.6 million).

According to the dealer, the tree could’ve been worth more, but gold’s value declined during the second half of the current year.
