Description
The 1934 Maundy Twopence is an elite addition to any collection of British numismatics. Minted strictly for the historic Royal Maundy service held on Maundy Thursday, this twopenny piece (2d) belongs to the late-reign “Fourth Coinage” of King George V. Because these coins were never authorized for general public use, they represent an incredibly exclusive branch of British silver currency that boasts beautiful craftsmanship and historical charm.
Scarcity and the 1934 Mintage
The Royal Mint operates under a strict mandate for Maundy money: they only strike the exact number of coins needed for the specific recipients chosen by the King.
For the 1934 issue, the total mintage was capped at a microscopic 1,887 individual 1934 Maundy 2p coins. Because the vast majority were handed out directly to elderly citizens at Westminster Abbey and kept as heirloom pieces, finding an individual specimen on the open market today is incredibly difficult.
