Antique 200+ year old King George II sterling silver twopence collectible coin necklace in excellent condition. Dating: Minted between 1729 and 1760 during the Georgian era. The precise four-digit date code is stamped dynamically on the back of your specific coin, flanking the top of the royal crown. Material: Composed of 92.5% high-purity sterling silver (.925 grade), paired with a solid silver custom scrollwork mount and matching chain. Denomination Definition: This is an official Two Pence (Twopence / 2d) coin, which is a highly distinct fraction of old British currency (equivalent to two pennies, not 2 pounds). The Front (Obverse): Features the crisp, classic Young Laureate and Draped Bust profile of King George II facing left. Front Latin Translation: Stamped with GEORGIVS II DEI GRATIA, which directly translates to "George II, by the Grace of God". The Back (Reverse): Showcases a massive, deeply engraved numeral 2 under a regal, high-arched royal crown to mark the twopence face value. Back Latin Translation: Circled by MAG BRI FR ET HIB REX, translating to "King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland".Rarity & Collectibility Status: Extremely high. This coin carries the official numismatic catalog code Spink-3714 (KM# 568) and ranks highly on global rarity indexes. It was never created for general public pocket change or standard circulation. Instead, it is a strictly limited-mintage Royal Maundy coin struck exclusively for the historic Royal Maundy Thursday ceremony, where the King hand-distributed small silver sets directly to a tiny handful of elderly subjects. Condition Report: Graded in Very Fine (VF) condition. The individual laurel leaves in his wreath, the curls across his shoulder, and the sharp background fields show uniquely high preservation for an antique of this age, making it exceptionally desirable to collectors. Specific Identification Code: This exact historical coin carries the official numismatic catalog ID Spink-3714 (KM# 568). The Rare "Young Bust" Overlap: The front profile shows the distinct, highly sought-after Young Laureate Head by Royal Mint engraver John Croker. It is highly collectible because George II reigned for 33 years, but this precise young portrait was used only during the earlier decades of his rule before transitioning to the "Old Bust" design. Unique Minting Non-Circulation Status: Unlike normal Georgian everyday pocket coins that were minted in millions, this coin is a Royal Maundy piece. It was never released to banks or public circulation. It was minted strictly in minuscule batches for the Monarch to physically hand-deliver to a selected tiny group of elderly citizens during the annual Maundy Thursday church service. Die Crack & Alignment Diagnostic: A unique manufacturing indicator visible on the back (reverse) is a faint die hairline trait running vertically down the left edge of the crown loop. In the 18th century, coin dies were hand-engraved and cracked easily under the immense pressure of the manual screw-presses. Finding a coin with this specific crisp detail proves it was struck from a fresh, authentic mid-18th-century
