British Maundy Gold Coins
| Royal Maundy is a religious service in the Church of England held on Maundy Thursday, the day before Good Friday. At the service, the British Monarch or a royal official ceremonially distributes small silver coins known as "Maundy money" as symbolic alms to elderly recipients. The coins are legal tender but do not circulate because of their Silver content and Numismatic value. A small sum of ordinary money is also given in lieu of gifts of clothing and food that the sovereign once bestowed on Maundy recipients. In 2002 for one year only the Royal Mint issued a very Limited Mintage of Maundy Gold Proof Coins struck in solid 22 Carat Gold. |
