1848 Maundy set - This is one of the rarer dates in the Victorian Maundy series. This is partly due to the threepence being extremely rare in any grade and especially so in a choice grade.

So silver 3d collectors will on occasions buy the Maundy set if a 3d alone is not available. On the set the Fourpence is brilliant (bright) the O & R of VICTORIA have gaps at the top. The B has a gap at the top and bottom both R's have gaps at the top in BRITANNIAR. The R of REGINA also has a gap at the top and the E has a slight gap at the bottom. Bright with a light tone.
