The 1790 Spade Guinea of George III is a classic British gold coin, struck by The Royal Mint during the late 18th century. Named after its distinctive spade-shaped shield reverse, this issue is one of the most recognisable and sought-after guinea types.
The obverse features the laureate portrait of King George III, while the reverse displays the crowned spade-shaped shield of arms, a design synonymous with Georgian coinage. Struck in gold, guineas were a key high-value denomination prior to the introduction of the sovereign in 1817.
This example is graded Good Very Fine, retaining clear detail with moderate wear, making it an attractive and affordable collector-grade piece.
Highly sought after by gold coin collectors, Georgian coin specialists and British numismatists, the 1790 Spade Guinea offers both historical significance and enduring appeal for any serious coin collection.
