| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing laureate and draped bust of King George I occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and laurel wreath. The king's drapery is visible at the truncation, characteristic of John Croker's engraving style. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading GEORGIVS DEI GRA, abbreviated in Latin. The portrait is bold and well-centred, consistent with the milled coinage standards of the early eighteenth-century Tower Mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
George I never learned to speak English fluently and conducted cabinet meetings in Latin, yet his coinage circulated in a kingdom still adjusting to the 1707 Acts of Union. The Maundy function during his reign retained genuine charitable intent — coins distributed at the Chapel Royal were handled currency, not the ceremonial keepsakes they later became.
Spink 3655 covers both currency and Maundy strikes without distinguishing them, a frustration for specialists since the two were produced to the same specification and are effectively inseparable without provenance.
