| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned quartered shield of arms occupying the central field, displaying the arms of England, Scotland, France, Ireland, and Hanover, supported by elaborate baroque mantling and strapwork. The royal crown surmounts the shield, with the date divided by the shield's upper quarters. The lengthy Latin legend abbreviating the king's full royal titles encircles the design within a milled border, with the date split across the upper portion of the shield. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Two Guinea piece was an awkward denomination by the 1740s — too large for routine commerce, too small to matter for major transactions — and George II's Treasury knew it. No Two Guineas had been struck since 1713, and this revival under John Sigismund Tanner's older portrait was itself short-lived, with production ceasing entirely after 1753. The denomination was never revived again.
Spink 3669 identifies only a handful of documented die pairings across the entire five-year run, and the combined mintage across all years remains extremely low by any standard of 18th-century British gold coinage.
