guinea

A British Coin, made from Gold exported from Guinea in Africa.

A Guinea is still used in British Horse Racing, and is of the value of one pound and five pence.

The word Guinea is associated with the coin/currency unit in the UK rather than as a reference to Italians.
There are numerous horse races such as the 2000 Guineas.
