1888 Double Florin (GVF)

The 1888 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, intended to simplify currency but often confused with the slightly smaller crown. 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 representing England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by the Order of the Garter.

Graded as Good Very Fine (GVF), this coin exhibits light wear on the high points and retains most of its original mint luster. The design details are sharp and well-defined, with minimal signs of circulation. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with historical significance and well-preserved condition will find this 1888 Double Florin in Good Very Fine condition a valuable addition to their collection.
