Authorities are puzzled after a bag of gold was left behind on a train in Switzerland.

Efforts are being made to find the owner.

The hoard weighs around three kilograms and is worth nearly NZ$300,000.

The discovery was made last year, but is only being made public now after efforts to track down the owner were unsuccessful.

They have five years to claim it, but BBC News reports it's not clear how authorities will verify any claims to the fortune.
