Specifications
This beautiful collectible features fascinating packaging from one of the best loved children's stories of all time!
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was completed in 1865, written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the nom de plume of Lewis Carroll. The story has been enormously influential in popular culture and literature, and has been in print continuously since 1865.
The reverse of the coin features a colourized Alice holding a bottle of "Drink Me" potion, that causes the drinker to shrink in size. The Cheshire Cat is watching her intently, while the White Rabbit checks his watch, no doubt late for something! The Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit, as well as the tree and checkerboard pattern on the ground are all etched with a high level of detail.
With only 5000 of these coins being produced, they will always be in demand by both collectors and Alice in Wonderland aficionados alike.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
This coin ships in a blue book-style case with the coin held in a Perth Mint display box.
