1889 DOUBLE FLORIN ( VF ) C

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 Very Fine (VF), this coin shows moderate wear consistent with its age and circulation. The main design elements are clear and well-defined, with some flattening on the highest points. Despite signs of use, it retains its historical integrity and represents a significant piece of Victorian-era numismatic history.
