	Coin Collecting
		Gold coins from the five guineas to the half-guinea, together with the silver from the crown to the sixpence were struck with both portraits.
		One of the commonest gold coins of the reign of George III is the `spade' guinea.
		In 1860 bronze coins were introduced to replace the large copper coins which were rather clumsy and soon became worn because of the softness of the metal and the amount of circulation they received.

	Two guineas (British coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The coins of William III's reign weighed 16.7 grams.
		The edge of the coin is milled diagonally, and the coins of this reign weighed 16.8 grams.
		In the early part of the reign the edge of the coin was milled diagonally, but from 1739 following the activities of a particularly bold gang of guinea filers for whom a reward was posted, the milling was changed to produce the shape of a chevron or arrow-head.

	The Story of the British Gold Five Pound Piece
		The gold five pounds, a five sovereign coin, was first struck in 1820 for George III, although it was not issued for circulation, being only a proof pattern coin.
		In the days when gold coins regularly changed hands in circulation, many people must have gold-plated crowns, which were silver coins with a face value of five shillings (25 pence), to try to pass them off fraudulently as five pound coins.
		The story of the gold five pound piece would not be complete without a mention of the "promotion" of the crown from a five shilling or twenty five new (decimal) pence value to a five pounds face value.

		Coins were struck at this mint from dies shipped in from London and their minting ceased before the Civil War started.
		The coin goes in one side of a balance scale and the weight in the other; if the coin is of the correct weight then the scale will balance.
		British coins were struck in Sterling Silver until 1919, at which point the metal content was changed to 500 fine silver.

		No guinea of earned money should go to rebuilding the college on the old plan; just as certainly none could be spent upon building a college upon a new plan; therefore the guinea should be earmarked 'Rags.
		Guineas are rare; guineas are valuable, but let us send one without any condition attached to the honorary treasurer of the building fund, because by so doing we are making a positive contribution to the prevention of war.
		Therefore this guinea, which is to help you to help women to enter the professions, has this condition as a first condition attached to it.

		Thus, a shilling contained 93 grains of silver or the value of 1/21st of a gold guinea; and a halfpenny contained 152.2 grains of copper, or the value of 1/24th of a shilling.
		This post was occupied by the British Army in 1761, and abandoned in 1781, this placing its archaeological record precisely within the period of the American Revolution.

		A characteristic of proof coins is that they have very sharp edges because of the high pressures used to ensure that the metal flows into all details of the design.
		Three new coins have been introduced since decimalisation - the 20p appeared in 1982 followed by the pound coin in 1983 and the two pound coin in 1998 (although 1997 versions are frequently found in change).
		Commemorative two pound coins were issued irregularly from 1986, but these early coins differ from the circulating version first issued in 1998 in that the latter is much thinner and is also bimetallic.

		Throughout the period under discussion, the official view was that copper was not a proper metal for a regal coinage at all, and, by extension, that copper coinage was not an especially important activity for the Royal Mint to pursue.
		Their large, handsome halfpennies were struck in 1791 and 1792 (and extensively counterfeited within a short time); the die-sinker was an early member of the Wyon family which was to design the majority of British coins in the nineteenth century.
		They would be heavy coins, whose intrinsic values would be as close to their official ones as possible, given manufacturing costs and usage preferences.
