I was happy to win this set and actually paid about what I expected.
It's a 1955 Elizabeth 11 Maundy set and I need the pieces for a PCGS Registry proof Elizabeth type I'm working on.
The sets should be fairly common but I rarely run into them on Ebay or any of the English dealers or auctions I search
so it was a good find I think.
These are fairly typical of the set. 1 or 2 sides of the other coins aren't as attractive but i think overall I'm looking at
PR 65 to PR 67 hopefully.
The coins are very tiny so it wasn't easy to get the good color on tilt without losing too much of the focus. For me at least

Dimitri, the coins were in sealed containers. I never checked but had no idea that these
sets were scarce in any sense. Thanks for pointing that out.....

Victorian Maundy coins are quite common, as anybody could order a set from a bank. However, in 1908, King Edward VII ordered that they should only be supplied to their recipients and people connected with the service, so coins dated 1909 and later are considerably scarcer—though, of course, the quantity increases as the monarch ages. In 2005 the total mintage of each denomination was 1,685.[3] In 2006 Queen Elizabeth II turned 80, and thus 80 men and 80 women each received 80 pence in Maundy Money on April 13 at Guildford Cathedral. In that year, they also received a special £5 coin that commemorated her 80th birthday and a 50p coin that commemorated 150 years of the Victoria Cross.
Under a special privilege granted by Queen Elizabeth I, students at Westminster School also received Maundy coins for distinguished work.
Maundy coins, in proof condition, were sold as part of a special silver proof set of all United Kingdom coins in 2000 and in 2006. They were also sold in gold as part of a special gold proof set of all United Kingdom coins in 2002, as part of the Golden Jubilee observances.
While Maundy recipients have long sold the coins to dealers at a premium,[4] in recent years, individual recipients have taken to selling them on eBay.

In a red velvet lined case marked "Maundy Money" from the Royal Mint.
In any case Maundy coins have a compelling historical story to tell I agree.....
