The guinea was a coin of

of gold that was minted in
Great Britain between 1663 and
1814.The name came from the Guinea region in West Africa, where much of the gold used to make the coins originated.[2] It was the first English machine-struck gold coin, originally worth one pound sterling, equal to twenty shillings, but rises in the price of gold relative to silver caused the value of the guinea to increase, at times to as high as thirty shillings. From 1717 to 1816, its value was officially fixed at twenty-one shillings.

What is the difference between a painter and an artist anyway? Can every painter be considered an artist, and every artist a painter?"
Answer:
The problem with calling yourself a painter is that some people will think you mean someone who paints walls. The problem with calling yourself an artist is that some people will think you're being pretentious and some will worry you're a touch mad (believing all artists are like Vincent van Gogh). Whichever term you use you will encounter misunderstanding, so go with whichever you feel most comfortable.

Он так привык теряться в этом,
Что чуть с ума не своротил
Или не сделался поэтом.
Признаться: то-то б одолжил!
А точно: силой магнетизма
Стихов российских механизма
Едва в то время не постиг
Мой бестолковый ученик.
Как походил он на поэта,
Когда в углу сидел один,
И перед ним пылал камин,
И он мурлыкал: Benedetta
Иль Idol mio и ронял
В огонь то туфлю, то журнал.
