1887 Double Florin (GVF)

The 1887 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a significant 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 confused with 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 Good Very Fine (GVF), this coin exhibits light wear with most of the original detail and mint luster preserved. The design elements and inscriptions are sharp and well-defined. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with exceptional preservation and historical significance will find this piece a valuable addition to their collection.
