Comment
House of Stuart Restored (1660-1714), Anne (1702-14), post-Union issue (1708-13), struck at the Tower mint, London.The standard weight of this coin was 1/31 troy ounce or 15.5 grains.
Before the Great Recoinage of 1817, there is no known evidence to suggest that separate 'prooflike' strikes were issued for the Maundy ceremony, suggesting that the money handed out was identical to the circulating coinage at that time.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pence - Anne (2nd bust; incl. Maundy) 1708-1713 coin from the United Kingdom is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Anne, who was the last of the Stuart monarchs and the first queen to rule in her own right, without a king.
