The 1849 Gothic Florin, also known as the Double Florin, is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, notable for its intricate Gothic design. This coin was introduced as part of the currency reform and 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 Gothic-style cruciform with floriated ornaments and crowned shields representing England, Scotland, and Ireland.
