1704  2d  Obv.

1704  2d  Rev.

 1704 Maundy 2d.  Rev. Very unusual stops & double colon dots. Not seen previously on other dates !

04 . Single stop MAG : Double colon stop BR : Double colon stop FRA : Double colon stop

ET . Single stop

HIB : Double colon stop REG : Double colon stop 17

As, at present, I don't have another Maundy 2d - 1704 to compare with so I cannot confirm if this

type of stop reverse is normal or not for 1704 ! 

I have found a picture of a 1703 Maundy 2d and the reverse stops are different to that of the above.

The reverse reads as: 03 . MAG : BR : FRA : ET . HIB . REG . 17

So the reverse of the 1703 & 1704, so far seen, are similar but not entirely the same.

For 1703 & 1704 the single and double colon stops are the same from the date (03 or 04) to ET .

However, after that the 1703 has a single stop after HIB . REG . where as in 

                                   1704 has a double colon stops after HIB : REG :

I have been advised by a Maundy specialist that the 1705 Maundy 2d has single stops after each

part of the legend - 05 . MAG . BR . FRA . ET . HIB . REG . 17

This 1704 Maundy 2d is Choice & deeply toned  EF-EF+
