This specimen was part of lot 47483 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2026), which sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Maundy Set (4 Pieces), 1923. London Mint. George V. Average Grade: ABOUT UNCIRCULATED. 1) 4 Pence. 2) 3 Pence. 3) 2 Pence. 4) Penny." This type was struck in billon for the Maundy sets 1921-27. Groats were struck for circulation in Victoria's time but were generally shipped to the colonies. As most Maundy sets were carefully preserved by their recipients, Maundy coins are today much more available than the low mintage would indicate.
Recorded mintage: 1,635.
Specification: 1.88 g, 0.500 fine silver.
Catalog reference: S-4028; KM-814a. The set: S-4027; KM-MDS181.
