An extremely rare George III Silver mounted Guinea Case. Made, most probably, in London circa 1780.

The Moroccan red leather case has plain silver mounts and is very unusually modelled as a travelling trunk, with ring handles on each end. The top displays a disc cartouche engraved with contemporary script initials. The cover opens up to reveal a divided interior for the coins. Due to its fragile nature, this is a rare 18th century survivor.



Length: 1.9 inches, 4.75 cm.

Diameter at each end: 1.1 inches, 2.75cm.
