| Aanvullende informatie |
Maundy money under George IV continued the centuries-old Royal Almonry tradition in which the sovereign distributed specially struck silver coins to a number of elderly poor equal to the monarch's age — George IV turned 60 in 1822, the first year of this run. These pieces were never intended for circulation, struck in limited numbers for a single annual ceremony at Whitehall Chapel or, later, various cathedrals across England.
George IV's Maundy sets are notable for retaining the bare-head portrait throughout his reign, a consistency unusual given his well-documented vanity and the several portrait revisions imposed on his currency coinage.
