£695.00

A collectable gold full Guinea of King George the Third, dated 1775. The obverse features the fourth type laureate head of the George III, facing right. This portrait is identifiable by the upturned ends of the King’s hair tie and the ringlets that curl over both of his shoulders. The reverse shows an ornate crowned quartered shield of arms, bearing the arms of England and Scotland (united since 1707), France, Hanover and Ireland. George III was the third British monarch of the House of Hanover. This type of Guinea reverse was introduced during his father George II’s reign to discourage Shillings from being gilded to pass as Guineas. In 1775, George III had been on the throne for 15 years and would reign another 45.

Visit our Showroom

We're based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a historic market town in beautiful Wiltshire. If the name rings a bell it’s probably because you remember how the community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' in the name was granted in 2011 to recognise this.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.

I like the fact that coins already sold don't clutter-up the website. This is a major annoyance, in many dealers' online lists. Payment is straightforward, and delivery is next-day. That's what customer like.

A remarkable selection of coins from entry levels of collecting to the highest possible grades. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend to other customers.

I ordered the *** £2 Silver Proof colourised version at a very competitive price. I received the coin two days later. The Coin and Certificate of Authenticity were well presented in the Royal Mint Box and nicely wrapped. I cannot fault the service - quite superb.

I purchased a slabbed coin and was pleased with the dispatch time for the order. The coin arrived and was exceptionally well packaged, I had no doubts it would be in fantastic condition when I opened it, I was not disappointed. The purchase price was fair, overall this was an excellent transaction, I would definitely do business again.
