Guinea - 1663 to 1701 - Price Guide

The guinea was minted in Great Britain between 1663 and 1814 and contained approximately one-quarter of an ounce of gold. The coin was originally worth twenty shillings (one pound), but an increase in the price of gold during the reign of King Charles II led to the market trading it at a premium. The price of gold continued to increase, especially in times of trouble, and by the 1680s, the coin was worth 22 silver shillings.
