I would guess it was a "limited edition" , number 999 out of 1000 issued.
Edit : Hadn't checked the pictures , the German 999/1000 indicates that it is 24 carat gold !

The numbers indicate parts of pure gold per thousand. So 9-carat gold is 37.5% pure gold, and 24-carat gold has 99.9% pure gold.

Edit 2 : These are cheap 'commemorative' items that have been mass produced in China .
