Rare Gold Cadbury Egg Sells for £123k
The rare golden Cadbury Egg from 1983, created as part of a national contest to solve a puzzle, was sold at auction for £123,500 after 43 years since its manufacture. This far exceeded estimates that anticipated a sale between £15,000 and £20,000. The piece was crafted from 22-karat gold and decorated with symbolic scenes of a bird and a cuckoo among trees. It was one of 12 decorative eggs produced for the contest, which was canceled following complaints about participants entering private property sources. The egg set a new market record, having been purchased for only £6,500 in 2018, resulting in a significant profit for the previous owner.
