1844 MAUNDY SET

A distinguished Victorian Maundy set from 1844, comprising the four traditional silver denominations of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d. Struck during the mid-reign of Queen Victoria, this set represents a significant period in British monetary history and royal ceremonial tradition. Maundy sets were annually distributed by the sovereign on Maundy Thursday as alms, resulting in restricted mintages that enhance their rarity and collector appeal. The 1844 date positions this set nearly 180 years into the past, offering numismatists a tangible artefact from the Victorian era. With superior silver content and the historical gravitas of royal provenance, this set commands attention from serious collectors seeking authentic examples of 19th-century British coinage and ceremonial numismatics.
