1887 DOUBLE FLORIN ( GF )

1887 Double Florin (Good Fine)

The 1887 Double Florin from the United Kingdom represents a piece of Victorian-era numismatic heritage, struck in sterling silver. Minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, this coin was introduced to simplify currency but was often mistaken for the slightly smaller crown due to its size. On the obverse, Queen Victoria is portrayed wearing a crown and veil, symbolizing her as Empress of India. The reverse displays a cruciform arrangement of shields bearing the national emblems of England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by the Order of the Garter.

Graded as Good Fine (GF), this coin exhibits noticeable wear but retains clear design elements and inscriptions. Despite its circulation, the historical significance and craftsmanship are evident. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with character and a well-preserved appearance will find this piece appealing.
