| Additional information |
The 1792 Maundy fourpence falls within a Georgian series that saw considerable die variation, and the "thin numerals" designation distinguishes this from the broad-numeral issues struck concurrently — a distinction that matters to specialists but was invisible to the recipients who received these coins in the royal Maundy ceremony each year. By 1792, the Maundy distribution at Whitehall was already a purely ceremonial survival, the monarch having long since stopped washing the feet of the poor in person. George III did not attend the ceremony himself that year.
