While several species are relatively well known, the plumed guineafowl and the two members of the genus Agelastes remain relatively poorly known. These large birds measure from 40â71 cm (16â28 inches) in length, and weigh 700â1600 grams or 1.5-3.5 pounds.
The Guinea had a face value of 21 Shillings or, One Pound and One Shilling (in predecimal currency). Although the coin no longer exists, the value remains in use, and is often used to value antiques and racehorses amongst other things, but is not used in day to day commerce.
