Context
House of Stuart Restored (1660-1714); James II (1685-88). The standard weight of this coin was 1/62 troy ounce (7.7 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. Sp#3418 Maundy money sets listed with their KM# ref: 1686 MDS22 1687 MDS23 1688 MDS24
