George I Two Guineas
Following the Royal Proclaimation of 1717 (at the urging of Sir Isaac Newton, the Master of the Mint at that time) The Guinea was revalued and fixed at 21/- (£1.1/-), having fluctuated wildly from its originally intended value of 20/- (£1) to as high as 30/- (£1.10/-). This Two Guinea piece and all those thereafter were therefore circulated at 42/-.

Obverse
