1710 MAUNDY FOURPENCE ( FINE )

A historically significant 1710 Maundy fourpence in Fine condition, representing early 18th-century British royal coinage during the reign of Queen Anne. This venerable piece has survived over three centuries, displaying moderate wear consistent with its age and grade whilst retaining legible inscriptions and recognisable design elements. Maundy coins occupy a unique position in numismatic collecting, having been specially prepared for the sovereign's annual Maundy Thursday distribution to the deserving poor—a ceremonial tradition of profound historical importance. Examples from the early 1700s are considerably scarcer than their Victorian counterparts, making this fourpence a notable acquisition. Ideal for collectors pursuing early Georgian coinage, comprehensive Maundy series, or those with specialist interest in pre-modern British numismatic rarities.
