A museum-quality Stuart Maundy set from 1680, featuring the four ceremonial silver denominations of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d struck during the reign of Charles II. This set ranks among the most historically significant Maundy issues, originating from the early period of documented royal alms distribution. At nearly 350 years old, the 1680 vintage represents an extraordinarily rare survival from the late 17th century, when few examples were produced and fewer still have endured intact to modern times. Each coin exemplifies the craftsmanship and monetary standards of Restoration England during a transformative period in British history. Maundy sets of this antiquity are seldom encountered in the numismatic market, commanding substantial premiums from advanced collectors and institutions. An exceptional acquisition for those seeking authentic artefacts of Stuart Britain and the ceremonial heritage of the English monarchy.
