<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 24707003, member: 40017&quot;]&quot;When did Maundy coins really become collectors&#039; items? It seems like the coins were spent in the 17th and 18th centuries.&quot;</p><p>I have always worked on the basis that up to about 1797 when the first copper pennies were introduced, the silver &quot;Maundy&quot; coins were in circulation. From then until the new silver threepences and fourpences came out in the 1830s, all the smaller silvers were presentation only.</p><p>So focusing on your post-Napoleon circulation coinage you could include these threepences and fourpences, as well as the workaday standards - farthings, halfpennies and pennies - without expending a great deal. Herewith threepence, farthing, halfpenny and penny:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1578685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1578686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1578687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1578688[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you could then extend to the fractional farthings - but these were really only intended for use in the colonies, so may be stretching too far![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
