These spade guinea tokens were not legal tender currency, nor were they counterfeits meant to be passed of as genuine. Rather, they were produced as novelty, souvenir, and promotional pieces that were used in advertising, as gaming pieces for gamblers, or simply given out as keepsakes.
Although they were based on gold guineas from the reign of King George III, most were actually made from brass during the later Victorian era. George III's portrait was used in order to avoid anticounterfeiting laws, and some design elements like the legend were often changed for the same reason. They are known as "spade" guineas due to the spade shaped coat of arms on the reverse.
