1858 FLORIN ( GVF )

The 1858 Florin from the United Kingdom is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, marking an early issue of the florin denomination. Introduced as part of the currency reform, the florin was valued at two shillings. On the obverse, Queen Victoria is depicted wearing a crown and veil, symbolizing her as Empress of India. The reverse features a cruciform design with crowned shields representing England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Graded as Good Very Fine (GVF), this coin exhibits light wear on the high points and fields, consistent with its age and circulation. The design details are well-preserved, with clear definition in the facial features of Queen Victoria and the shield emblems on the reverse. Despite minor signs of use, it retains its historical integrity and is a desirable piece for collectors of Victorian-era coins.
