Sp#3595 (1703-04) First draped bust, small face, curls at back of head point downwards, small crown;
Sp#3595A (1705-10) Second draped bust, larger face, curls at back of head point upwards;
Sp#3595B (1710-13) Similar bust, large crown with pearls on arch, larger serifs on figure 4;
Sp#3595C (1710-13) Similar bust but with re-engraved hair.
The standard weight of this coin was 2/31 troy ounce or 31 grains.
Before the Great Recoinage of 1817, there is no known evidence to suggest that separate 'prooflike' strikes were issued for the Maundy ceremony, suggesting that the money handed out was identical to the circulating coinage at that time.
