1856 MAUNDY ONE PENNY ( AUNC )

A scarce Victorian Maundy penny from 1856, struck in sterling silver with exceptional preservation. This diminutive denomination was traditionally distributed by the Crown during Maundy Thursday ceremonies to the deserving poor. The almost uncirculated condition preserves original lustre and sharp detail throughout, making this a desirable example for serious numismatists and collectors of early Victorian coinage. Maundy pennies are increasingly difficult to locate in such superior condition, particularly from the mid-19th century period.
