Antiques Roadshow guest stunned at tiny chocolate bar's valuation


The guest on BBC Antiques Roadshow was left speechless after an expert revealed the huge valuation of a tiny bar of chocolate - that's more than 120 years old

The chocolate bar's significance lies in its age, dating back to 1902, and it was created to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Lisa Lloyd, an expert on the show, was thrilled when she was shown a small tin containing the chocolate during the episode aired on Sunday, September 1, which was a repeat filmed at Cromford Mills in Derbyshire. Reflecting on the historical context, host Fiona Bruce added in her voiceover: "Just eight years after these bars of chocolate were issued Edward VII was dead and a new king George V was ruling a country on the brink of World War One."
