1888 Double Florin (AUNC)

The 1888 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a significant piece of Victorian-era numismatic history, struck in sterling silver. Minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, this coin was introduced to simplify currency but was often confused with the slightly smaller crown due to its size.

The reverse features a cruciform arrangement of shields bearing the national emblems of England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by the Order of the Garter.

Graded as About Uncirculated (AUNC), this coin exhibits minimal wear with nearly full mint luster. There may be slight friction on the highest points, but overall, the design details are sharp and well-preserved. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with historical significance and a well-preserved appearance will find this 1888 Double Florin in About Uncirculated condition a valuable addition to their collection.
