Superb Victoria - lovely tones. Uncirculated Maundy coin set from 1879- - Rare with original case which enhances value - as are most Young Head issues.
There was a proof strike this year - maybe ? This set is presented in small storage box, and coins housed in original purple case
Maundy coins from pre 1820, were also used as circulation coins. It was not until after this date that coin sizes became standard, and Maundy sets were issued separately from circulation coinage.
The first \'Maundy Set\' was undated and during the reign of Charles II - which was presented by the King (to whom?), in what has been described by some historians, as a PR stunt.
