The issuing of Maundy coins goes back to the reign of Charles II, but, at the time, the coins were used as everyday money. It was not till later in the reign of King George III that actual sets of Maundy coins were issued. A Maundy set consists of four silver coins of 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d all of the same date. They were usually given out by the Monarch on Maundy Thursday. Normally we charge £245 for a Queen Elizabeth II Maundy Set, these are Choice Proof sets and, but as a Special offer, either it can be yours for only £220.

During the long reign of Queen Victoria there were three types of Maundy Sets issued: Young Head, Jubilee Head and Old Head. The Young Head is the first and tends to be the most difficult to get, especially in the higher grades. Remember a real Maundy Set contains 4 coins the 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d all of the same dates. Some people try to pass off mixed date sets as Maundy Sets, but that is not true. Real Maundy sets must contain all the coins of the same date. The Young Head Victorian Maundy Sets on offer have all four coins of the same date and the coins are in Good Extremely Fine condition, which is a very high grade to find early silver in. Dates of our choice, but if you order more than one set we will give you different dates. PLEASE NOTE: PHOTOGRAPHY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN
