Comment
The guinea was valued at 21 shillings 6 pence between 1698 and 1717, when it was devalued to 21 shillings. These coins were struck at 44½ to the pound troy, giving a standard weight of 24/89 troy ounce (129.4 grains).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guinea - Anne (3rd bust) coin is that it was minted during a time when the United Kingdom was experiencing a severe shortage of coinage, particularly of gold coins. To address this issue, the government ordered the minting of a new series of guild coins, including the 1 Guinea - Anne (3rd bust), which was made of .9167 gold and weighed 8.4 grams. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce during that time and remains a valuable collector's item today.
