Penny 1817 (Silver, circulating), Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

Penny 1817 (Silver, circulating), Coin from United Kingdom (demonetised 1971)
CoinPenny 1817 (Silver, circulating)

There were two forms of the silver penny, the currency issue like this piece (with a duller surface), and a special piece for the Maundy Thursday ceremonies - both with numeral 1 on the reverse but the Maundy issues have a proof-like finish.

Apart from the surface quality, they are indistinguishable. For the purpose of completeness though, the Maundy coins are listed separately in the Non Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) section.

Some catalogues do not recognise the existence of these circulating coins and list olny Maundy silver pennies of this year.
