| Aanvullende informatie |
Maundy money occupies a peculiar corner of English monetary practice — coins struck not for commerce but for an annual royal ceremony in which the sovereign distributes alms to elderly recipients, one coin per year of the monarch's age. George III's 4 pence pieces from this run served that rite across the better part of three decades, meaning examples were handled briefly, pocketed by pensioners, and largely kept rather than spent.
The Spink reference 3750 covers a span during which die workmanship varied considerably across years, and the small diameter meant engravers had little room for error.
