In addition to the standard six playing pieces, extra tokens – which include a cannon and a rocking horse – are also crafted in solid 18-carat gold. The houses and hotels, each with a ruby or sapphire on top the chimney, are made of solid 18-carat gold, and the play money is printed on metallic gold coloured paper. The set boasts 168 gemstones including diamonds, sapphires and rubies.
