The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus issued in 2007 the two latest coins in the Belarus and the World Community Series. They both celebrate Alice, the well-known character from two books written by the English author Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898): Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass.
This series of oxidized coins started in 2005 with The Snow Queen (with a dark blue crystal), The Little Prince (with a white crystal), Symon the Musician (with a dark orange crystal), and The Stone Flower (with a yellow crystal). In 2006, the Mint followed with The Twelve Months (with an amber crystal) and The Thousand and One Nights (with a blue crystal). All the coins in this series are wonderfully detailed and share the same obverse, featuring a boy and a girl sitting on the moon under a starry sky, holding an opened book.
