Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Guinea - George I (Pattern) 1727 from United Kingdom is that it was designed by the famous English artist and designer, John Sigismund Tanner. Tanner was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Guinea coin features a detailed portrait of King George I on the obverse side, with a depiction of the crowned arms of the United Kingdom on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to showcase the power and prestige of the British monarchy during that time.
