Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1822-1830 George IV Maundy Penny is that it was minted with a unique "Maundy" mint mark, which is a small letter "M" placed beneath the date on the coin's obverse (front side). This mint mark signifies that the coin was struck as part of the traditional Maundy money ceremony, which has been held annually in the United Kingdom since the 13th century. During the ceremony, the monarch distributes small silver coins, known as Maundy money, to elderly residents of the community as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The inclusion of the "Maundy" mint mark on the 1822-1830 George IV Penny makes it a distinctive and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
