Breaking news from Wonderland! NEW Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland UK Coins just released
Can you believe that Lewis Carroll’s famous fantasy children’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass have been entertaining audiences across the globe for more than 150 years?
Now, The Royal Mint has just released TWO BRAND NEW UK coins celebrating Alice and the inhabitants of Wonderland!
We invite you to join us for a very important tea party to take a look at these exciting new coins that are the perfect addition to any growing coin collection…
Two NEW UK Coins
The first coin features Alice alongside the cheeky Cheshire Cat perched in a tree. Alice fans will remember this iconic scene from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland when she first meets him outside the Duchess’s house.
The Cheshire Cat is known for constantly grinning, and disappearing and reappearing whenever it fancies, sometimes just leaving behind its toothy grin. It is the only character in the book to listen to Alice and teaches her the bizarre rules of Wonderland.
The second coin celebrates the sequel Through the Looking-Glass. In this charming coin design we see Alice depicted with the mischievous twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
In the book the twins are dressed as schoolboys and don’t hesitate to fight with one another over silly things. They show Alice the sleeping Red King and tell her about the Walrus and the Carpenter.
These two coins are available in a range of specifications – the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland coin is available to own now, and you have the chance to get ahead of the crowd and PRE-ORDER the Through the Looking-Glass coin too, to complete your UK Alice collection…

High demand expected
Lewis Carroll’s nonsense fairytale about a girl called Alice is undeniably one of the best-known and most popular works of English-language fiction. Its popularity is clear when you consider it’s been adapted into theatre and ballet shows, not to mention several blockbuster Disney films.
Alice collectables are in high-demand – a ‘legendary’ 1865 first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (one of only 22 known to be in existence) went under the hammer in 2016 for £1.3-£2 million. This confirms that these NEW UK COINS will be highly sought-after.

It’s been 150 years since Lewis Carroll penned his famous fantasy children’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass.

But if you want to be kept up to date and be the first to know when these NEW coins are released, just register your interest at the end of this blog.
Whilst we wait for further details to be revealed, let’s take a look at the Royal Proclamation and what we know so far…
Two special Alice-inspired coins
According to the Royal Proclamation published on 28th May, there will be two coin designs inspired by Carroll’s two books – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
They will be released in a variety of specifications, including base metal £5 and precious metal versions in varying denominations. The designs are said to include:
- A depiction of Alice and the Cheshire Cat sat in a tree accompanied by the inscription “ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND”
- A depiction of Alice and characters the Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the inscription “THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS”
I don’t know about you, but we’re all mad here, madly excited that is, to see these designs come to life on UK coins!
