Great Silver Coin Giveaway Thursday 14th April 2022 at Windsor Castle

[LawrenceChard]

Don't miss the great silver coin handout!

"Prince Charles and Camilla will join the congregation for the Royal Maundy service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, and will be welcomed by the Right Reverend David Conner, who gave the address at Prince Philip’s memorial service.

For the past two years, the service has not been held due to the pandemic and instead the queen wrote to recipients of Maundy money, who received the coins in the post, to thank them for the community work that had earned them their nominations.

This year, Prince Charles will distribute the Maundy coins to 96 men and 96 women — as the queen will be 96 this year, celebrating her birthday on April 21.

Each recipient receives two purses, one red and one white.

The white purse is filled with uniquely minted Maundy money — silver 10p and 3p pieces — to the value of 96 pence.

In the red pouch is a £5 coin and a 50p coin honouring the queen’s platinum jubilee. Both coins were newly minted this year.

The Royal Maundy is an ancient ceremony that traces its origins to the commandment Jesus gave to love one another after he washed the feet of his disciples on the day before Good Friday, two days before Easter Sunday."

I don't know whether an invitation is necessary to attend the ceremony, but it certainly would be required by those who were due to receive the coins.

If any TSF member is due to be a Maundy Money recipient, it would be interesting to hear about it, if not, you will have to wash your own feet!

P.S. I should mention that most of the above is an unedited quote direct from thenationalnews.com

I also should have read it in full, then I would have noticed the idiocy about silver 10p and 3p pieces!

If we get offered Maundy coins, we try to buy them, but new ones almost always sell for much more than normal, so you can buy a 10, 20 , or 50 year old set for perhaps half the price of new one. We never chase after sets from the current or recent years.

So, probably yes in another 10 or 20 years time.

....'The white purse is filled with uniquely minted Maundy money — silver 10p and 3p pieces — to the value of 96 pence'...

I have never heard of a Maundy 10p - looking forward to seeing one 🤨

[SidS]

Surely it should be 1p-4p pieces?

 

Edited to add: it feels really weird using 'p' with Maundy coins.

Aww, I was really expecting there to be a queue on the RM website this morning

No, to relieve traffic at Llantrisant, today's queue was at St. George's Chapel.

I thought half of TSF would have been there, and was looking forward to seeing the selfies posted here.

There were rumours that the Russians were trying to push their way to the front of the queue:

What will happen if they get too near the Ukrainian Embassy?

I think it was the Mamas & Papas that said: "Maundy, Maundy. Can't trust those coins."

[paulmerton]

The Royal Mint seems to have put a whole load of historical Maundy sets for sale on their website over the past week or so. Will they be selling the 2022 sets to Joe Public at some point?
