2 Pence - George I incl. Maundy

Maundy money under George I occupied an awkward institutional moment: the king himself rarely performed the Maundy ceremony in person, the duty falling to the Lord High Almoner instead. The 2 Pence was distributed annually on Maundy Thursday to a number of recipients equal to the monarch's age, a custom that locked the denomination into the ritual calendar regardless of any monetary function.

These pieces never circulated. Struck specifically for ceremonial distribution, surviving examples in high condition are far more common than their age suggests.
