| Aanvullende informatie |
The Maundy fourpence has been struck continuously for ceremonial distribution since at least the reign of Charles II, and George V's issues from this period were no exception — produced each year for the Royal Maundy ceremony, in which the sovereign distributes specially struck coins to elderly recipients, one person per year of the monarch's age. These pieces entered genuine circulation so rarely that even worn examples prompt suspicion.
During the First World War, silver Maundy denominations were among the few British coins to retain full sterling fineness while standard coinage was debased in 1920.
