正面描述 Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, rendered in the early portrait style by Richard Yeo. The effigy shows the king with a laurel wreath bound around his head and a classical drape across the truncation of the shoulder. The circumferential legend reads GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA in Roman letters, separated by pellets, running clockwise around the periphery of the coin.

附加信息

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.
