Context

The standard weight of this coin was 2/31 troy ounce or 31 grains. Obverse and reverse die varieties exist: Sp#3595 (1703-04) First draped bust, small face, curls at back of head point downwards, small crown; Sp#3595A (1705-10) Second draped bust, larger face, curls at back of head point upwards; Sp#3595B (1710-13) Similar bust, large crown with pearls on arch, larger serifs on figure 4; Sp#3595C (1710-13) Similar bust but with re-engraved hair; Before the Great Recoinage of 1817, there is no known evidence to suggest that separate 'prooflike' strikes were issued for the Maundy ceremony, suggesting that the money handed out was identical to the circulating coinage at that time. Sp#3599 Maundy money sets listed with their KM# ref: 1703 MDS34 1708 MDS37 1710 MDS39 1705 MDS35 1709 MDS38 1713 MDS40 1706 MDS36
