Guinea gold coins for sale
The gold guinea coin was minted in gold in England and later the United Kingdom between 1663 and 1813. It was struck in gold and was machine manufactured with a milled edge. The guinea is highly sought because it was an early English gold coin with a strong historical prominence struck during a particularly eventful period of English and later UK history.
It was originally worth a pound, and later between twenty and thirty shillings. Eventually it was replaced with the sovereign. It remains one of the most beautiful and sought after English and latterly British coins. It was produced with a milled edge to prevent people from clipping off the edges of the gold (and reselling it) thus diminishing the intrinsic value of the guinea.
