Description
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia only minted gold coins a handful of times, primarily during the 1950s under King Abdulaziz and King Saud. The “Guinea” was initially struck at the Lahore mint in 1950, and later at the Mecca mint in 1957. Because they perfectly matched the size and weight of British Sovereigns, they quickly became a trusted currency across the Middle East. Due to their enduring popularity, restrikes of these coins were later produced for collectors and the regional jewellery market. These restrikes maintain the exact gold content and dimensions of the original 1950 issue.
The Saudi Arabia Guinea Gold Coin Restrike is a meticulously crafted reproduction of the original gold guinea coin, celebrated for its historical significance and exquisite design. This pre-owned 1 Guinea restrike is struck in 22ct gold and weighs 7.98g. This restrike pays homage to the rich heritage of Saudi Arabia, blending traditional artistry with modern minting techniques. The difference between the restrike and the original is that the restrike bears the carat of gold that this coin has been struck in.
