| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of the White Queen, a character from Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass,' portrayed as a disheveled, wide-eyed woman dressed in flowing white robes and wearing a teapot as a hat, standing before a tiered white cake. The deeply colored field is black, scattered with alternating red heart and grey spade suit symbols forming a decorative border around the central figure. A quotation from the novel, 'That's the effect of living backwards.', appears in white lettering to the left of the figure, and the denomination numeral '50' is inscribed in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Part of a series tied to the Royal Mint's Alice in Wonderland programme, though this piece was issued by the Isle of Man Treasury rather than the Royal Mint itself — a distinction that places it outside the mainstream UK commemorative canon despite sharing the broader promotional moment. The Isle of Man has long used its fiscal autonomy to issue collector coinage on licensed themes, often in parallel with, but legally independent from, British issues.
KM#1698a denotes the silver variant within what was likely a multi-composition release.
