Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the 1816 recoinage of the British currency, which was a significant event in the history of British numismatics. The 1816 recoinage introduced new coinage that was based on the gold standard, which replaced the previous silver-based currency. The 5 Guineas coin issued in 2016, therefore, serves as a tribute to this historic event and highlights the enduring legacy of the British monetary system.
