George II 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/-.

Stock and Prices
We list here recent coins from our stock. When we sell a coin, rather than remove it from this page, we simply mark it as "sold" in the "stock" column. This serves numerous purposes, it provides a historical record of our recently sold stock, and it can provide a reference source for those who wish to know the approximate value of their coins.
