It’s time to go Through the Looking-Glass… Discover the BRAND NEW Alice 50p Coins!
Marking the 150th Anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s tales of nonsense the first Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 50p Coins saw unprecedented demand. From coin collectors to Alice fans, demand has been huge and as a result the coins have become some of the most popular numismatic collections this year!
So, it felt only right to enter the fantastical world again, one last time…
Today, I’m proud to introduce a brand new collection of British Isles 50p coins, this time celebrating the sequel; ‘Through the Looking-glass and what Alice found there’.
Just like the first Alice coins, they have been authorised for release by Isle of Man Treasury and fully approved by Her Majesty the Queen. However, this time they feature brand new designs of some of the most beloved characters from the sequel.
I’m sure you’ll agree that these will be just as, if not even more popular than the first! Find out more about these new coins and how to order them below…
The COMPLETE Brilliant Uncirculated 50p Set
This stunning collection features all five new 50p coins, each struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated quality and featuring carefully curated designs by renowned illustrator Stephen Lee. These include:
- Alice “Life, what is it but a dream”.
- The Red Queen “The Queen cried ‘faster, faster!‘”
- The White Queen “That’s the effect of living backwards”.
- Tweedledum & Tweedledee “There’s nothing to cry about!”
- March Hare “There’s nothing but hay left now”.
What’s more, the coins will come protectively housed in a bespoke presentation pack that has also been designed by the artist. This set is one of the only ways you can own all FIVE coins and demand has already been extremely high.
If you’d like to secure this complete set for JUST £31.25 (+p&p), then click here >>
The STRICTLY LIMITED Silver Proof 50p
The Silver Proof version of the stunning Alice 50p coin features a specially commissioned illustration of Alice, about to enter Wonderland again through the Looking-glass, alongside an excerpt from the book; “Life, what is it but a dream”.
The coin has been struck to a flawless Proof finish from .925 Sterling Silver with selective vivid colour printing to bring Alice to life!
Silver 50p coins are, without a doubt, the collector’s favourite due to their strict edition limits. And this brand new Silver 50p is no different, with an edition of JUST 4,995 pieces – the same as the first Alice 50p which has been hugely popular!
