ID No 2605 1813 King George III "Military" Guinea
Price: £3,500.00
Condition: Good Extremely Fine (GEF)
S3730. Very rare,the last Guinea struck before it was replaced by the Sovereign in a major coinage reform in 1816. So called "Military" as it was used to pay the troops in Wellington's Army in the Pyrenees. The locals would only accept gold! A rare coin with glowing lustre and abundant history.
