A remarkable Stuart-era Maundy set from 1678, presenting the four traditional silver denominations of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d struck during the reign of Charles II. This set represents one of the earliest periods of documented Maundy coinage distribution, placing it among the most historically significant examples available to collectors. Dating back nearly 350 years, the 1678 vintage exemplifies the craftsmanship and monetary standards of Restoration England. Maundy sets from this epoch are exceptionally scarce, as few examples have survived the intervening centuries intact. The numismatic and historical importance of a 17th-century Maundy set cannot be overstated—it offers collectors a direct connection to Stuart Britain and the ceremonial traditions of the English monarchy. A museum-quality acquisition for advanced numismatists and serious collectors of early modern British coinage.
