elf Great Britain 1 Penny 1863 Silver Victoria Maundy :
$55.00

KM 727, 50 year type, issued for presentation by the queen in the Maundy Thursday ceremony. The number of recipients, and the amount of pence in each presentation bag, is determined by the age of the monarch. There are four denominations used in the presentation bag. Each coin is sterling silver. Small silver coin, with the queen on the obverse.

When the British coinage was changed to the decimal system in 1968, the Maundy coin program was not changed--the denomination of each coin was considered to be in \"new pence\", which meant that its value increased overnight by 240% (from 240 pence to one pound in the old system, to 100 new pence to one pound).
