Ultra-Miniature Gold Coin Replica

Guaranteed 18-Carat Gold

ANTIQUE COIN COLLECTION

1787¨C1788, Great Britain, King George III

¡°Spade¡± Guinea Gold Coin

GREAT BRITAIN, George III (1760¨C1820)

One Guinea, 1788, ¡°Spade¡± Guinea

Antique Coin

18-Carat Gold, 750 Fineness

Obverse: Laureate portrait of George III.

Reverse: A crowned, spade-shaped shield enclosing four heraldic quarters.

The reverse shield design of the British gold guinea of George III, represented here by the 1788 issue, was revised in 1787. As the outline of the newly designed shield resembled a spade in a deck of playing cards, this type became known as the ¡°Spade Guinea.¡±

George III took a keen interest in British commercial interests and promoted triangular trade. Commodities such as sugar and tobacco transformed lifestyles, while the rise of industrial capitalists is regarded as having laid the foundations for the subsequent ¡°Great Empire.¡±

The reigns associated with the minting of gold guineas are listed below:

1660¨C1685: Charles II

1685¨C1688: James II

1689¨C1694: William III and Mary II

1689¨C1702: William III

1702¨C1714: Queen Anne

1714¨C1727: George I
