50 Pence - Charles III King's First Year - Royal Maundy Service, Silver Plated Gold gilded

The Royal Maundy Service is among the oldest surviving royal ceremonies in Britain, with roots traceable to medieval practice and codified by the 13th century. Maundy money itself has been struck in silver since the reign of Charles II, distributed annually by the sovereign to elderly recipients — one coin per year of the monarch's age — at a rotating cathedral. Charles III conducted his first Maundy Service as King at York Minster in April 2023.

This Isle of Man issue is a commemorative derivative, not legal tender used in the ceremony itself. Genuine Maundy sets are struck by the Royal Mint exclusively.
