Spade Guinea Miniature The finding of a coin believed to be a miniature of a spade guinea, as recently reported in an Invercargill message published in the "Post" has elicited the information from an ■Opotiki resident, Mr. H. J. Burton, that he has in his possession a similar coin shaped like a half-penny, but twenty years older than the coin found in Invercargill, which bore the date 1788. The coin is a little larger than a six-penny piece, pale gold in colour, and fairly light. On the obverse is the head of George III., crowned with a laurel wreath, with the inscription around the edge, "Georgeus III., Dei Gratia." The adverse side bears the Royal Arms and the words "In Memory of the Good Old Days."
