1889 DOUBLE FLORIN ( GF ) 7

The 1889 Double Florin from the United Kingdom is a sterling silver coin minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, introduced 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 Fine (GF), this coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with its age and circulation. The design elements are still visible, though there may be noticeable flattening on the higher points of the coin. Despite signs of use, it retains its historical significance and represents a piece of Victorian-era numismatic history.
