Struck during the reign of Queen Anne, the 1713 Anne Maundy Set offers a rare and elegant glimpse into the early 18th century. Issued for the Royal Maundy ceremony, these small silver coins were specially prepared as a gift from the monarch, reflecting a tradition of charity and service that has long been part of British royal life.
The set includes the one penny, two pence, three pence and four pence pieces, each struck in sterling silver. For collectors, the appeal lies in the set’s age, its royal connection and its place in the development of Maundy money at a time when these coins were still closely tied to court custom and ceremony.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Anne, a striking image from the final years of the Stuart period. The reverse displays crowned numerals, a classic Maundy design that gives these coins their distinctive and timeless appearance. Their small size and fine detail make them especially attractive to collectors of early British silver.
Complete sets from Anne’s reign are highly sought after, particularly when all four denominations remain well matched. This makes the 1713 set especially interesting for anyone collecting Maundy money, royal silver or coins from the reign of the last Stuart monarch.
With its royal heritage, ceremonial purpose and enduring historical interest, the 1713 Anne Maundy Set offers collectors a remarkable connection to one of the most significant periods in British coinage.
