1854 FOURPENCE ( FINE )

This 1854 Fourpence in Fine condition offers collectors an authentic example from the mid-Victorian era under Queen Victoria's reign. Maundy fourpences from this period represent a transitional phase in British ceremonial coinage, bridging early and late Victorian production standards. The Fine grade indicates moderate wear consistent with a coin that has circulated or been handled over the past 170 years, yet retains clear definition of the portrait and reverse design elements. The 1854 date places this piece within a significant decade of British numismatic history, when Maundy ceremonies continued their unbroken tradition of royal almsgiving. Fourpence denominations remain sought after by collectors pursuing complete Maundy sets or specialising in Victorian-era royal issues. This example combines historical authenticity with accessible condition, making it suitable for both established collectors and those beginning to explore the rich heritage of British ceremonial coinage. A worthwhile addition to any serious collection.
