2 Pence - 1668 to 1684 - Price Guide
The minting of silver pennies for general circulation was halted by the British government in 1660, because the cost of silver had risen too high. Fourpence, threepence, twopence and one penny are referred to as Maundy Money. Maundy money as such started in the reign of Charles II with an undated issue of hammered coins in 1662. The coins were a fourpenny, threepenny, twopenny and one penny piece but it was not until 1670 that a dated set of all four coins appeared.
