Sherlockian Chocolate Coins

“… I emerged with a little chocolate…”

– The Adventure of the Lion’s Mane (LION)

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.
