1849 FLORIN ( GVF )

An important early example of the Victorian Florin, this 1849 silver coin marks the introduction of the two-shilling denomination to British currency. Graded in Good Very Fine condition, the piece exhibits well-preserved surfaces with only light wear from modest circulation, preserving excellent detail across both designs. The obverse features Queen Victoria's young portrait with sharp definition, whilst the reverse displays the intricate heraldic shield with clear inscriptions. A key date for collectors pursuing comprehensive Florin collections, this coin represents a significant milestone in British decimal currency development and offers strong numismatic appeal for those specialising in mid-19th century silver issues.
