Comment
The guinea was 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 1813 George III 1 Guinea coin is that it was minted during a time when the British Empire was facing economic challenges due to the Napoleonic Wars. As a result, the coin's gold content was reduced from the traditional .995 to .9167, which was a cost-saving measure. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and popularity, and it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
