Charles II (1660-85), Pattern" Maundy Twopence, 1668, laureate and draped bust right, rev. en médaille, cypher, 0.94g (ESC 675 {2170}; S.3388), toned, almost extremely fine, scarce.
The production of this issue in medal alignment, as in the style of contemporary trial strikings by John Roettier for Farthings, as well as the notable absence of other 'Maundy' strikings for this date has led to the speculative identification of these as Patterns.
Estimate: £60 - £80"
