1801 George III Third Guinea
The Third Guinea (7/-) was issued between 1797 and 1813 (except for 1805 and 1812) only. They were issued largely as a response to the shortage of gold in Britain caused by the wars with France. In 1801, George III dropped his claim to the French Throne as Ireland came into the Union, so the reverse legend was changed to reflect this, reading 'Defender of the Faith, King of Britain' on this particular example.
