1788 GB Spade Guinea Gold Coin Fine
Tax included.
The 1788 Great Britain Spade Guinea is more than just a stunning gold coin—it’s a cornerstone of Australia’s early currency history. Struck in the same year the First Fleet arrived, this iconic coin circulated widely in the colony and was officially recognised in Governor King’s 1800 Proclamation, which established trusted currency during a time of economic uncertainty. Featuring King George III and the distinctive spade-shaped shield, it holds powerful historic ties to both British heritage and the birth of modern Australia. Rare, prestigious, and rich in story, this Proclamation-era gold coin is a must-have for serious Australian collectors.
