For those members who dont know what a Guinea was (GNS), a Guinea was 21 shillings or £1.05 in decimal coinage.
The average wage was approx £5 per week in those days so this would have cost around 10 - 11 weeks wages. Put it another way, its approx £4000 in todays money so a small fortune in those days.
