Product Details
The 1794 Gold Guinea of George III is a remarkable coin from the late 18th century. The obverse features the fifth laureate head of George III facing right, with the Latin inscription "GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA" (George III by the Grace of God). The reverse displays a spade-shaped crowned quartered shield of arms, with the date 1794 below. The reverse legend, in abbreviated Latin, reads "M.B.F. ET. H. REX. F.D. B.ET. L. D. S. R. I. A. T ET. E." This translates to "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg, High Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire".
