Great Britain 1788 Spade Guinea Gold-plated Replica
Spanning an impressive 40mm in diameter, and plated in genuine gold, this impressive commemorative replica celebrates the iconic Spade Guinea.
The King George III Spade Guinea was struck from 1787 – the year the First Fleet under Arthur Phillip left Britain – until 1799, when a hike in gold prices due to the wars with France saw production of the coin halted. The Spade Guinea is well known for the superbly designed portrait of King George III, and the distinctive shield reverse. Comprising the Royal Arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Hanover, the spade-shaped shield was the inspiration behind the coin’s popular name.
The Spade Gold Guinea was a key coin in the colony of New South Wales after European settlement in 1788. Official recognition of its importance to the colonial economy came with its inclusion in Governor Philip Gidley King’s Proclamation of 1800 – Australia’s first official currency system – where it was valued at a shilling over the face value at £1 2/-.
An outstanding tribute to a famous, rare Australian colonial icon, this replica measures an imposing 40mm in diameter, is struck to Prooflike quality, and is plated in genuine gold! Click add to cart now!
