Struck during the reign of George IV, the 1828 George IV Maundy Set is a fine example of early 19th-century Royal Maundy coinage. Issued for the monarch’s annual Maundy ceremony, these small silver coins were specially prepared for presentation as part of a long-standing tradition of charity and service.
The set includes the one penny, two pence, three pence and four pence pieces, each struck in sterling silver. For collectors, these coins are especially appealing for their strong royal connection, their historic significance and their elegant, understated design.
The obverse features the portrait of George IV, giving the set a direct link to one of the most distinctive reigns of the period. The reverse displays crowned numerals within wreaths, a classic Maundy design that has long been associated with this ceremonial coinage. Their clean and balanced style gives the set a timeless look that continues to attract collectors today.
Complete sets from the reign of George IV are particularly sought after, especially when all four denominations remain well matched. This makes the 1828 set an especially interesting piece for those who collect Maundy money, royal silver or coins from the early 19th century.
With its royal heritage, ceremonial purpose and place in Britain’s numismatic story, the 1828 George IV Maundy Set offers a handsome and historically important connection to the age of George IV.
