Maundy money by 1792 had long shed any practical purpose, distributed annually by the monarch to elderly recipients — one coin per year of the sovereign's age — in a ceremony rooted in the medieval washing of paupers' feet. George III was 54 that year, meaning each recipient received a set totaling 10½ pence across four denominations. The "thin numerals" variety distinction on this date reflects a documented die difference, not a later alteration.
