1766 MAUNDY SET

An exceptional Georgian Maundy set from 1766, featuring the complete ceremonial quartet of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d silver coins issued during the reign of George III. This set captures a pivotal moment in British history, struck during the early years of the Industrial Revolution and the reign that would witness American independence. Maundy sets from the 18th century are notably scarce, as annual distributions were limited and many examples have not survived to the present day. The 1766 vintage now spans 260 years, making it a significant historical artefact for collectors of Georgian coinage and royal ceremonial numismatics. Each coin demonstrates the precision metalwork characteristic of this era. Highly sought by discerning numismatists, this set represents an authentic and tangible window into 18th-century British monarchy and monetary tradition.
