The theft involved up to 35 coins, valued at anywhere from the third floor of the museum, which was accessible through a poorly secured area.
The law enforcement agencies, including Interpol, were notified, and alerts were sent to art dealers, teams, and museums worldwide to help recover the stolen items.

Pezzano described the man, who identified himself as "Mr. Ryan," and noted that this individual left a bag near the museum and later called to say he had left it by mistake.
