The British Gold Half Guinea was one of a wild mix of foreign coins that circulated during the first days of modern Australia. These are known as ‘Coins of the Proclamation Era’. Used by the earliest European settlers, and therefore genuine artefacts of Australia’s earliest colonial period, the Coins of the Proclamation Era are hugely important from both an historical and a numismatic perspective.

A wonderful opportunity to own a key Proclamation Era coin, we have a King George III Gold Spade Half Guinea available – dated 1788, the year of European Settlement of Australia! A strong example, this sought after date is offered in Very Fine. Click add to cart now!
