Well struck. Pleasing surfaces. Attractively toned. The origin of the Maundy Ceremony dates to the reign of Edward II, when goods were given to the poor by the King. It was not until the time of Elizabeth I of giving redemption money in the place of gifts. For many years the coins given were circulating coins of the time, usually silver pence and other denominations, but it was not until about 1800 that special sets of coins were minted. Small silver coins were struck solely for use in the Maundy Ceremony after 1820. Personal presentation of Maundy sets by the King or Queen is a relatively recent phenomenon. For the first time since the 7th century George V presented the coins himself in 1932. </font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
