Interesting fact
The March Hare coin is part of a series of colorized coins released by the Isle of Man in 2021, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The coin features a colorized image of the March Hare, a character from the story, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of colorized coins is a unique touch, adding a pop of color and vibrancy to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
