The Guinea was first struck in 1663 for King Charles II, and was a symbol of Britain's rising colonial power, as it became recognized and accepted throughout the world. The Guinea was known for its purity and reliability, and the Five Guinea coin even had the engraving "Decus et Tutamen", meaning "an Ornament and a Safeguard", further securing its symbol as a reliable coin.
The Spade Guinea design was first introduced in 1787 by King George III, and symbolizes England and Scotland, France, Ireland and the German possession of the Hanoverian dynasty. Scotland and England were merged to form Great Britain, which is represented by three lions that symbolize England, Normandy, and Aquitaine and the standing lion which represents Scotland. The Royal Arms also had the Arms of France until 1801, which is represented with three Gold fleurs-de-lis on a blue background, symbolizing the king's approved right to rule. The Ireland coat of arms is symbolized my a Gold harp with Silver strings. The Hanover coat of Arms included an addition in 1714 of a galloping horse on the lowest part, representing Hanover. The English and Scottish lions remained side by side. These four coat of Arms join together to create the Spade Guinea design featured on this coin.

For those purists that don't want a dark background. This coin radiates pure silver tone in daylight, but,,, put it under low artificial light and the background goes dark. U have to take it out of the packaging to see this amazing coin transform.. I hope to get more if the above milk spotting doesn't occur. If only the privateer series had this type of magic!

I really loved this coin when it came: the background pattern is fantastic and the frosting looks great. In the week following the reception of this coin, milk spots began to develop inside of the airtight capsule. I've never had this experience before and was somewhat disappointed by it. Were there no spotting, this would be a 5/5, but the early onset marking takes the score down.
