Threepence
George IV 1820-1830 AD (Maundy)
By the start of the reign of king George IV (1820-1830) the coin was being struck primarily as a Maundy coin, although some coins were produced for use in the colonies. Threepences were struck in all years from 1822 to 1830, though the king's head is smaller on the 1822 issue, apparently because the correct punch broke and the one from the twopence was used instead. The obverse inscription reads GEORGIUS IIII D G BRITANNIAR REX F D, while the reverse shows a new-style crowned "3" and date, all within a wreath.
