They will be sold as part of an auction of medals, militaria, coins and stamps on Thursday, November 27.
“The set have survived in wonderful condition over the past 121 years due to them being kept in their original little leather fitted box,” said Richard Bromell, director of Charterhouse Auction and Valuers.
The Maundy ceremony as we know it today originated under the reign of King Charles II in 1662 when the King handed out specially struck 4d, 3d, 2d and 1d silver coins.
Each year, the Royal Maundy ceremony occurs on Maundy Thursday and there are as many recipients as there are years in the sovereign’s age.
The set in the Charterhouse auction, estimated to sell for £100-200, are just one of 63 sets handed out by King Edward VII who was born in 1841.
The family run auction house based is based in Sherborne and is open Monday to Friday each week.
Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for their busy programme of specialist auctions with coins, medals & stamps, wine, port and whisky, model trains, cars and dolls and pictures, prints and books.
