These are card game counters, similar to the one you posted here, although much more obviously not a coin. The "1797" date is spurious; these pieces were actually made sometime in the 1800s, long after genuine spade guineas had disappeared form circulation - hence the reference to "the good old days".
Since they're not coins, I can't give you a coin catalogue value. And while there are books that cover these sorts of items, I don't have any. The best I can do is show you some completed ebay sales for similar items. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-x-George-...em20d1fa73e4Here/url] is a set of five tokens in similar condition to yours, which sold for AU$12.50. That's AU$2.50 each.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
