Struck during the reign of George II, the 1731 George II Maundy Set is a fine example of 18th-century British ceremonial coinage and a piece with strong royal appeal. Issued for the Royal Maundy ceremony, these silver coins were made for a long-standing tradition of royal charity and remain highly regarded by collectors today.

The set includes the one penny, two pence, three pence and four pence pieces, each struck in silver for ceremonial presentation. For collectors, the attraction lies in the set’s age, its connection to a much collected Hanoverian monarch and its place within the wider history of Maundy money.

The obverse features the portrait of George II, reflecting the style of his reign and the refinement of early Georgian coinage. The reverse carries the crowned denomination marks associated with Maundy issues, giving the set its simple and distinctive identity. Their small size, fine detail and traditional appearance make them especially attractive to collectors of British silver.

Complete sets from George II’s reign are highly sought after, particularly by those who collect Maundy money, royal ceremonial issues and coins from the Georgian period. The reign also offers further interest to collectors because of its long span and the consistency of its coinage.

With its royal connection, elegant design and lasting historical importance, the George II Maundy Set offers collectors a meaningful link to an important chapter in British coinage.
