Own a piece of royal tradition with the George III Maundy Penny, a beautifully preserved example of Britain’s historic Maundy money.

Struck in sterling silver with a delicate weight of just 0.5 grams and a diameter of 12 mm, this coin showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the 18th-century Royal Mint. The obverse features the right-facing laureate portrait of King George III, surrounded by the inscription “GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA,” capturing the elegance of the monarch’s early reign. On the reverse, a crowned “I” denotes its one penny denomination, encircled by the legend “MAG BRI FR ET HIB REX” and the date, reflecting the classic design used for Maundy pennies of this era.

Specially minted for the annual Maundy Thursday ceremony, this coin represents centuries of royal tradition, where the monarch distributes Maundy money to selected recipients. As a rare survivor from a period when such coins were struck only in limited numbers for ceremonial use, the George III Maundy Penny is a timeless addition to any collection, embodying the heritage, artistry, and enduring legacy of The Royal Mint.
