In 1689, the Royal Mint began using a design for the reverse of the four low-denomination silver coins depicting a crowned numeral
In 1822 an amended reverse was introduced, and has been struck every year since then in all four denominations
The 1822 reverse design, which places the crowned numeral within an oak wreath was done by Jean Baptiste Merlen
Mintage of sets of Maundy money dropped from 9,929 sets in 1908 to 2,428 the following year
The original composition of the coins was sterling (0.925) silver
No change was made to the design of the Maundy pieces, and all Maundy pieces, both pre- and post-Decimal Day are deemed denominated in new pence, more than doubling the face value of the pre-1971 pieces
