Question...
Is the above coin the same size as the Victoria 2 Pound gold coins?

Someone smarter can probably clarify, but I'm pretty sure a guinea was worth 21 shillings, until replaced by the sovereign/pound which was worth 20 shillings.

I suppose a 2 Guinea is the same as a 2 Pound

Ok a bit of googling and I've found that...
31-32 millimetres for the 2 Guineas
28 millimetres for the 2 Pounds
So they're close but not exact.
