1675 Maundy 3 - obv. Struck with the 4d obv. die Large head - virtually no border teeth |
1675 Maundy 3d. rev. Date: 5 over O ! It is very clear that the 5 is the top date |

1675 Maundy 3d. rev. Date: 5 over 0 ! The O is perfectly circular and is more consistent with it being a O |
1675 Maundy 3d. This is an extremely rare coin with major errors on both sides of the coin.
Obv. A 4d die has been used resulting in a much larger head that the 3d die.
The legend is slightly larger than that used on the 3d die. The result being
that the legend is only just on the coin flan with only a few border teeth
around the lower half of the coin.
Date: This is definitely of the date 1675 and the 5 is over a perfectly formed O !
My first thought was that it was a 5 over 6 but thanks to an email from
another Maundy specialist dealer suggesting that it matches the perfectly
formed "O" is as the 1670 date ! I have re-examined my first thought and
concur that the 5 is over a "O" ! The "O" is too large to be that of the
bottom part a 6 and the top bar of the 5 is NOT the tail of a 6 !!
* There is an example of 6 over 5 (very different to the above) at this link
There is a bit of 'metal reduction' on both sides. EF? - extremely rare - unlisted.
