This gold guinea coin, crafted by Thomas Pingo in 1777, depicts King George III of England in profile. The coin features the inscription "GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA," which translates to "George III by the Grace of God," signifying the king's divine right to rule. It is a testament to the artistry of Pingo, a prominent medallist of his time, and provides a glimpse into the numismatic traditions of 18th-century Britain. The coin is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
