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.
With historical significance and a beautiful design, this bullion coin is a perfect way to carry on the reputation and trust of the Guinea.
