The British Gold Guinea

The guinea came into existence in 1663 under King Charles II and held the value of £1, or 20 shillings.

By 1694 at the beginning of William and Mary's joint reign, the guinea was worth twenty one shillings and six pence. Because much of the silver coinage was old, worn, and badly clipped, before the end of their reign, by June 1695, the guinea was worth as much as thirty shillings. After Mary's death, during the sole reign of William III, there was a substantial re-coinage of the silver coinage, which stabilised the value of the guinea.

From the reign of George III in 1760, few silver or copper coins were struck, so that the state of the currency deteriorated again, until in 1817 another great re-coinage took place, with the guinea being replaced by the lighter weight sovereign.

Obverse

The obverse features Raphael Maklouf's portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the lettering:

ST. HELENA • QUEEN ELIZABETH II • 2016

The coins also bear their denominations: £1.05 / 50p / 20p.

Reverse

The reverse features a simplified shield with each quarter bearing the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, Hanover and France.

The design also shows several crossing lines and sectional frosting representing the global reach of The East India Company.
