Regular price $84.00

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.


Graded as Good Fine (GF), this coin exhibits moderate wear on both the design details and the fields, consistent with its age and circulation. The main design elements are clear and recognizable, although there may be some flattening on the highest points due to use. Despite signs of circulation, it retains its historical integrity and is a desirable piece for collectors of Victorian-era coins.
