Did British "Maundy Money" Have the Same Design as Circulated Coinage?

I'm familiar with the way Maundy Money was distributed and what it was used for, but was it still made by the mint with the same design as the coins being circulated? Adding on to that, can Maundy Money simply be referred to as a high-grade regular coin (e.g. an F12 sterling 3d)?

I was just curious just in case I came across a coin I needed labelled as "Maundy Money," it would turn out to be the same thing.

Easy to say "Google is your "friend", but I'm lazy too. Let's see what someone answers

 

I believe that Maundy money will always have a Crown on the reverse and a portrait of the king or queen on the obverse.

But they will also be proofs or proof like, well those from the 1800's and up anyways. Here is my 1824 1 pence Maundy:



I used to know more but have forgotten a lot of what i knew about maundy coins.

 

Also here is my 1783 3 pence

It's also called Maundy but im not sure it was actually apart of a set back in those days.

 

I think before 1822, regular designs were used for Maundy coins.

Then, in 1822, they made special designs for the penny, twopence, and fourpence. They used the same design for the threepence, for some reason.

Once a Maundy threepence is circulated, it is almost impossible to tell apart from a regular threepence. Not that these things circulated anyway, they were very special coins.

 

Lastly my 1922 4 pence


Again a portrait and a crown. This one is proof like and was apart of a set at one time.

Ah, I see. That's why I was confused; I have a 3d from 1913 with the crown and number 3 on the reverse. I noticed the other Maundy coins had this same style and thought they were regularly circulated. Thanks for the clarification!
