| Obverse description | Struck in equilateral curve heptagonal format, the obverse bears a right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, pearl drop earrings, and a pearl necklace, rendered in the fifth definitive portrait by Jody Clark. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs around the upper field, with ISLE OF MAN curving along the right periphery. The date 2021 appears at the base of the design, flanked by two small raised dots, with the engraver's initials JC incuse below the Queen's truncation. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Isle of Man as part of a broader Lewis Carroll commemorative program, this piece marks the 150th anniversary of Through the Looking-Glass, published in 1871. The Isle of Man has long used its monetary autonomy to produce themed collector issues that circulate alongside standard coinage — a practice that occasionally produces genuine surprises alongside the forgettable ones. This falls somewhere in between.
