What is the history of a 1877 Queen Victoria silver penny It has on instead of the word one?
You possibly refer to a Maundy Penny. A very small coin of 11 mm made from sterling silver. A Maundy Penny belongs to the "Maundy Set" consisting of a sterling silver 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d coins. The Maundy tradition dates back donkeys years to 1699 when the "deserving poor" were presented with a Maundy Set on Maundy Thursday. See the link below for more detail.
What is the value of maundy money?
Maundy money is given by the reigning UK Monarch to specially chosen people each year on Maundy Thursday. The custom dates from the time when the reigning monarch gave money or food out to the poor on that day. Nowadays instead of food a small purse of Maundy coins is given to each recipient.A complete set of four coins totals just 10 pence - a penny, a 2 penny coin, a 3 penny coin and a 4 penny coin. The 4 penny coin is around the size of a modern 5p coin, and the others are smaller. The number of these coins varies each year as the present Queen gives an extra penny each year to mark her age as one year older, and one year extra on the throne.The coins are made of sterling silver, and are legal tender in the UK (ie you can spend them) but, of course, no one who receives them would ever spend them at their face value of just 10 pence a complete set.As to value, this varies. Face value of a complete set of four coins is just 10 pence. The intrinsic value of the silver is also low as the coins are very small and light and therefore silver content is no more than a pound or two in value. However, if Maundy money comes up at auction a complete set of four coins can vary from £50 - 70 or so up to several hundreds of pounds depending upon condition or wear, and date (and hence rarity). However the true value is the sentimental value of being given such an item by the reigning king or queen - and that honour is priceless.
