Description

This is the 1932 BU issue with a mintage of 2,042. The George V 3rd issue Maundy coin from 1926, with a denomination of £0.01, holds a special place in numismatic history as part of the traditional Maundy money, which has been distributed by the British monarch during the Maundy Thursday service since the 13th century. Struck at the Royal Mint located at Tower Hill, this coin features the iconic portrait of King George V on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the regal design typical of Maundy coinage, emphasizing its ceremonial significance. With a mintage of only 16,525 pieces and a composition of silver at .500 purity, this coin is relatively rare, earning a rarity score of 7 out of 10, which enhances its desirability among collectors. The coin serves not only as a tangible connection to British history and royal tradition but also as a symbol of the enduring legacy of Maundy money within the context of British numismatics.
