Beschrijving keerzijde A large numeral 3 dominates the centre of the field, flanked by the split date 20 and 02 to either side. Above the numeral sits a royal crown rendered in fine detail. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base, echoing the traditional design of British Maundy coinage. The composition is symmetrical and struck to proof quality with sharp, well-defined relief.

Aanvullende informatie

Maundy Money is an English royal tradition dating to at least the 13th century, in which the monarch distributes specially struck coins to elderly recipients on Maundy Thursday — one coin per year of the sovereign's age. Cook Islands has no liturgical connection to this practice whatsoever. This piece belongs to a category of licensed commemorative issues produced for the collector market, exploiting the "Maundy Money" name while bearing no relation to the Royal Mint series distributed at Westminster Abbey or any cathedral ceremony.
