1.25 oz St. Helena Standing Lion Guinea Silver Coin (Year/Design Varies): product overview
A modern tribute to the guinea name
The historical British guinea was a gold coin first issued in 1663. Its name survives in modern collector and bullion themes, but a modern St. Helena issue is a separate product from an early British circulating guinea. The metal, fractional weight and contemporary design in this offer determine what is being purchased.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an original British gold guinea?
No. This listing describes a modern St. Helena product. The guinea reference is historical design context; it does not turn a modern silver or fractional-gold issue into an antique British coin.
Can I select the date or design shown?
This listing allows the date or design to vary with inventory. A pictured example does not reserve that exact issue. Choose a specifically dated or named-design listing if you are filling a particular gap in a collection.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
