How much is 2000 Guineas worth in pounds?
Before British decimal currency came in 1971, the guinea was a price and an accounting unit — it was not actual currency. A guinea was equal to 21 shillings — in other words, one pound one shilling (£1.1s.0d). The decimal equivalent was (and still is) £1.05.
