Estimate: £180–£200

Victoria (1837-1901), Proof Maundy set, 1839, struck en medaille (SC 25). Almost as struck, but the Fourpence and Twopence have been cleaned (£180-200)

Although the coins have the apearance of proofs neither Rayner in ESC or Hailstone, who is careful in recording the die axis of entries in the Standard Catalogue mention the existence of proof Maundy coins struck en medaille. Robinson in his work on Maundy Money makes no mention of the matter one way or the other.
