Context
The guinea was a gold coin that was minted in Great Britain between 1663 and 1814. The name came from the Guinea region in West Africa, where much of the gold used to make the coins originated. They were struck at 44½ to the pound troy, giving a standard weight of 24/89 troy ounce (129.4 grains). Obverse varieties exist with either no mark (Sp#3426) or elephant and castle (Sp#3427) below the conjoined busts.
