1860 FLORIN ( NF )

The 1860 Florin from the United Kingdom is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, representing an early issue of the florin denomination. Introduced as part of the currency reform, the florin was 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 cruciform design with crowned shields representing England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Graded as Poor (P), this coin exhibits heavy wear throughout, with the design and legends severely worn down. The date and main features may be barely visible due to wear and smoothing of the surfaces. Despite its condition, it remains a piece of historical significance from the mid-19th century.
