The Spade Guinea Shield
The Guinea was first struck in 1663 for King Charles II, and was a symbol of Britain's rising colonial power, as it became recognized and accepted throughout the world. The Guinea was known for its purity and reliability, and the Five Guinea coin even had the engraving "Decus et Tutamen," meaning "an Ornament and a Safeguard," further securing its symbol as a reliable coin.
The Spade Guinea design was first introduced in 1787 by King George III, and symbolizes England and Scotland, France, Ireland and the German possession of the Hanoverian dynasty. Scotland and England were merged to form Great Britain, which is represented by three lions that symbolize England, Normandy and Aquitaine and the standing lion which represents Scotland. The Royal Arms also had the Arms of France until 1801, which is represented with three gold fleurs-de-lis on blue background, symbolizing the king's approved right to rule. The Ireland coat of arms is symbolized by a gold harp with silver strings. The Hanover coat of arms included an addition in 1714 of a galloping horse on the lowest part, representing Hanover. The English and Scottish lions remained side by side. These four coat of arms join together to create the Spade Guinea design featured on this coin.

He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
