THE CASE OF THE SHERLOCKIAN CHOCOLATE COINS

Greg Ruby's Fourth Garrideb blog covers the numismatics of Sherlock Holmes. This September 30, 2018 post covers the case of the Sherlockian Chocolate Coins. -Editor

Holmes-Chocolate-Coin-Obverse

Last August, we published a HolmeWork assignment asking for help in learning more about the chocolate coins that are sold at the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street. We had a picture of the front (or obverse) of the chocolate coin, but none of the back. We asked two questions:

Anyone with pictures of both sides of this candy? Can anyone make out the wording on the Sherlock Holmes side of the coin in the pictures? We recently came across two pictures that answers those questions.

Gotta love the chocolate surface on the second one! For search engines I'll add the text of the inscription: "S H / AWARDED FOR / ASSISTANCE / TO DETECTIVE / SHERLOCK / HOLMES". -Editor
