What's a Third Guinea?
The Third Guinea was introduced in 1797 due to the demand for a 7 shilling coin. They were issued largely as a response to the shortage of gold in Britain caused by the wars with France.
A Third Guinea was equal to 7 shillings:
One Guinea = 21 Shillings, therefore a Third Guinea = 21'0 x 1/3 = 7/- (84 Pence)
Obverse
The Obverse was designed by Lewis Pingo, a medallist and engraver, who came from a family of well known engravers, Thomas (Father) and John (Son). The obverse features the Second Laurete Head surrounded by the legend:
GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA •
Reverse
The Reverse was also designed by Thomas Brock and features a crown with the year 1809 underneath it, surrounded by the inscription:
DEFENSOR • BRITANNIARUM • REX • FIDEI • 1809
