1890 DOUBLE FLORIN ( FINE )

The 1890 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 Fine (F), this coin shows moderate wear consistent with its age and circulation. The main design elements are clear and recognizable, though there is noticeable flattening on the highest points. Despite signs of use, it retains its historical integrity and represents a piece of Victorian-era numismatic history.
