Product Description
2015 2 oz Silver Coin – 150th Anniversary of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Antiqued Clock
STORY
The Perth Mint is pleased to present the 150th Anniversary of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland coin, celebrating the first publication of the Lewis Carroll classic.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland follows the adventures of Alice, a young girl whose curiosity is sparked when she sees a talking White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat, and carrying a pocket watch, run past her as she is sitting with her sister on the riverbank. She follows him down a rabbit hole, into the imaginative and chaotic world of Wonderland, which is populated by anthropomorphic animals and creatures.
DESIGN
The coin’s reverse features Alice, the Cheshire cat, and several playing cards around the edge, with the White Rabbit featured on the face of a clock in the middle of the coin. The clock design includes the inscription ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. A quote from the book, “Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!” is also included on the back of the clock in a spiral form.
The quartz movement of this watch operates on one SR416SW silver oxide battery. The battery should be replaced every three years or whenever timekeeping becomes erratic.
PACKAGING
The coin is housed in a clear latex display case with a black border and a white pattern. It is presented in a colourful shipper featuring beautiful Alice in Wonderland illustrations, which opens to reveal the coin and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
