Why Collect the 1955 Maundy Fourpence?
Royal Maundy coins are not struck for general circulation; they are minted specifically for the monarch to distribute to elderly citizens during the traditional Maundy Thursday service. In 1955, the Royal Maundy ceremony took place at Southwark Cathedral, making this specific year highly significant for historical collectors.
Because these coins were given as gifts of honor, they boast meticulous craftsmanship. The obverse features the beautiful, youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse displays the crowned numeral ‘4’ encompassed by a traditional oak wreath.
