The Commissioner’s Trophy is replete with 198.12 troy ounces of sterling silver, per the MLB.
The production of the trophy – done annually – takes months. Nearly 140 hours of work go into it, Tiffany & Co. has said.
The jeweler’s present design of the Commissioner’s Trophy dates back over two decades.
Tiffany is also behind the National League Championship Series and American League Championship Series trophies that the teams had to win to get to the World Series. The Dodgers received the Warren C. Giles Trophy on Oct. 20, while the hardware for winning the ALCS was presented to the Yankees.

In addition to the various MLB trophies that Tiffany produces, it also has a unique connection to the Yankees insignia.
A design the jeweler developed for the 1877 NYPD Medal of Valor "later inspired the iconic New York Yankees logo," Tiffany said on its website.
Tiffany has belonged to LVMH since early 2021. That is when the French luxury giant completed its multi-billion-dollar acquisition of the jeweler to bring it into its portfolio.
Another brand owned by LVMH has also designed awards for sports. Chaumet was tapped by Olympic officials to come up with the design for the gold, silver and bronze Olympics and Paralympics medals that were handed out at the Paris Games earlier this year.
