Official replica of the German Football Championship Trophy of season 1998/99. Bayern Munich gave this replica to a member of the team that won the German Championship. The player, a German international, was given the replica as a parting gift. The last inscription on the trophy is "FC Bayern München 1999". Silver, partly gilt. Weight: 2.25 kg. Diameter: 52 cm. This premium and down to the last detail copy was manufactured by a goldsmith. The manufacturing costs for such an exclusive replica are well in the rage of five digit Euro budget. DFB (German FA) approved of the reproduction of the 1999 trophy. From 1981 the trophy had been slightly changed. The names of the winning teams had been engraved to the edge until then. In 1981 there was no space for new champions left, thus the trophy had to be enlarged by a 4.5 cm ring. The original "Bowl" (the name for the German trophy) measured 54.5 cm in diameter, after the ring had been added it was 59 in diameter. Official replicas may only be produced by those clubs that one the championships. If DFB agrees, they may have smaller replicas of the trophy for their display of trophies. These replicas are approximately 18 percent smaller than the original thus the uniqueness of the original can be protected. The cash value of the original trophy is 50,000 Euros. This correlates to the material and the manufacturing costs. The current value of the trophy yet might well top a million Euros since football in Germany is very popular.
