Alice in Wonderland coin collection celebrates the much-loved Disney film, which was released on 26 July 1951.
Based on Lewis Carroll's famous story, the film was not well received by everyone on its initial release; however, it proved to be ahead of its time and has since been regarded as one of Disney's greatest animated classics.
The Disney film tells the tale of Alice, who chases after a White Rabbit only to be led through a keyhole into Wonderland. There she meets strange creatures such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Caterpillar, and the Cheshire Cat. Through her journey in the bizarre Wonderland, she ends up celebrating an 'unbirthday' with the March Hare and Mad Hatter at their tea party before having a final showdown with the Queen of Hearts and her army of playing cards.
Thankfully, Alice awakens from her dream to the recitations of her sister and the purring of her cat.
There are four 1oz fine silver coins in the collection. Each coin features a classic image of key characters from the film, namely Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and March Hare, as well as the Queen of Hearts. The artwork for all four coins is featured in full colour with selected engraving.
All four coins are nestled in velvet inside matching story-book style packaging. The front cover is decorated with striking gold-coloured foil images inspired by Disney's Alice in Wonderland. The Certificate of Authenticity is shaped to mirror Alice's silhouette and is found inside the front cover.
