A scarce Victorian Maundy twopence from 1838, struck during the early years of Queen Victoria's reign. Maundy coins were traditionally distributed by the monarch on Maundy Thursday to the deserving poor, making them historically significant pieces of British numismatic heritage.
This example is graded NF (Nearly Fine), showing light wear consistent with its age and ceremonial purpose. The obverse displays Victoria's young portrait, whilst the reverse features the denomination and date clearly visible.
Maundy twopences from this period are increasingly difficult to locate in the collector's market, particularly in this grade. A worthwhile addition for those specializing in Victorian Maundy coinage or early 19th-century British denominations.
