	British coin Quarter Guinea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Isaac Newton, the Master of the Mint, wrote a minute dated 21 September 1717 in which he blamed the overvaluation of the Guinea at twenty one shillings and sixpence for this, and this resulted in a Proclamation of 20 December reducing the value of the guinea to twenty one shillings.
		The new coin had to be proportionate in size to the other gold denominations, and this resulted in a coin which weighed 2.1 grams and was 16 millimetres in diameter.
		Despite the unpopularity of the 1718 quarter guinea it was considered necessary to produce this coin again, to the same size and weight as before, to fill the gap between the low denomination silver coins and the larger gold coins.

	Guinea pig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guinea pigs are classified in order Rodentia, although there is a minority belief in the scientific community that evidence from mitochondrial DNA indicates that the Hystricognathi may belong to a different evolutionary offshoot, and therefore a different order.

		Guinea pigs should not be kept in the same cage or enclosure with domesticated rats (or any other species of rodents for that matter).

	Victorian coinage
		A guinea was £1-1s-0d (which is £1.05) and could be written as '1g' or '1gn' or, in the plural, '3gs' or '3gns'.
		It was called a florin (a term first used for the coin produced in the 13th century in the Italian city of Florence) and it was minted for nearly 120 years until 1968 when, in preparation for decimalisation, a coin of the same size became the new ten pence piece.
		The ten pence and five pence coins (equivalent to the two shilling and one shilling pieces) were phased in from 1968 and the new fifty pence piece was first issued in October 1969 to replace the ten shilling note which ceased to be legal tender on 22 November 1970.
