1689 MAUNDY FOURPENCE ( FINE ) HOLED

A scarce example of this historic English silver coin, struck during the reign of King James II. Maundy money was traditionally distributed by the monarch on Maundy Thursday to the poor, making these pieces significant both numismatically and historically. This fourpence displays fine condition with clear detail to the obverse and reverse. The hole through the centre is consistent with period usage, likely from suspension as a charm or keepsake. A desirable addition to any collection of Stuart coinage or English Maundy money.
