1887 Double Florin (VF)

The 1887 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a notable piece of Victorian-era numismatic history, struck in sterling silver. Minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, this coin was introduced to simplify currency but was often mistaken for the slightly smaller crown due to its size. On the obverse, Queen Victoria is depicted wearing a crown and veil, symbolizing her as Empress of India. The reverse features a cruciform arrangement of shields bearing the national emblems of England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by the Order of the Garter.

Graded as Very Fine (VF), this coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with its age and circulation. The design elements and inscriptions remain clear and well-defined, though some details may show light wear. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with historical significance and a well-preserved appearance will find this piece appealing.
