Go Down The Rabbit Hole With Alice In Wonderland

With is wide array of characters, anthropomorphic animals and literary nonsense verse, the children’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most beloved works of fiction ever published. It was written by English author Charles Dodgson, who used his pen name Lewis Carroll when it was published in 1865. On closer examination, at least according to some literary scholars, the book has been variously described as a metaphor of childbirth, a reference to illicit drug use, or a parody of some of the English politicians of the era. For most readers, however, it is simply an entertaining adventure — and now it’s also the first release in the Royal Mint’s Treasury of Tales series.

Colorized Design Taken From An Original Illustration

Commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland, the classic story has never been out of print and has been translated into nearly 100 different languages. This fabulous coin captures the whimsey of the timeless tale in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It replicates one of the original illustrations made for the novel by Sir John Tenniel that were included in the first publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The fully colorized image shows Alice encountering the grinning Cheshire Cat who is seen hanging out in a tree in between bouts of appearing and disappearing at will leaving only its wide grin floating in the air. The frustrating-yet-amusing conversation leads Alice to claim that she “has often seen a cat without a grin but never a grin without a cat!”
