1889 DOUBLE FLORIN ( GVF ) 2

The 1889 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, designed to simplify currency but often confused with the slightly smaller crown. On the obverse, Queen Victoria is depicted wearing a crown and veil, symbolizing her as Empress of India. The reverse features a cruciform arrangement of shields representing England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by the Order of the Garter.

Graded as Good Very Fine (GVF), this coin exhibits light wear on the high points and retains much of its original mint luster. The design details are sharp and well-defined, with only minor signs of circulation. Collectors interested in Victorian-era coins with historical significance and well-preserved condition will find this 1889 Double Florin in Good Very Fine condition a desirable addition to their collection.
