Those original coins featured the British monarch on the obverse, with the Royal Arms of England on the reverse.
During the reign of the Hanoverian monarchs, particularly King George III, the gold guinea was a popular coin. It was the first machine-produced gold coin in British history and was in production until 1799 during the reign of King George III.

It remains a popular effigy of Her Majesty on a variety of Commonwealth coin issues for bullion collections.
