The coins in question appear to match with images released by the Musée Saint-Remi, in Reims, a city in northeastern France's Grand Est region, like this Aureus coin of Empress Faustina, which are reported to be collectively worth more than 55 million rubles (approximately 607,200 euros).  The information about their recovery was subsequently relayed to the French authorities via INTERPOL NCB channels to the Office central de lutte contre le trafic de biens culturels (OCBC - Central Office for the Fight against Illicit Traffic in Cultural) where images of the seized pieces appear to match with published object descriptions within the INTERPOL's ID-Art database. 

As a result of a subsequent police investigation into the missing coins in France, eight individuals have been indicted, including a (former) museum guard, previously on temporary duty with the museum.  

The members of this group have been formally charged in 2024 with theft of cultural property, illegal export, and concealment of archaeological discoveries as part of an organised gang.  They remain are under judicial supervision according to the Reims public prosecutor, while their case makes its way through the judicial system.
