Florin (Two Shillings) | (2024)

1887 Florin Uncirculated

The Jubilee Head Florin for Queen Victoria was only issued from 1887-1892. The Florin itself had only been around since 1849 and it was a two shilling piece struck in Sterling Silver. Equivalent to today’s 10p piece! Over the past two years we have accumulated a small group of these Jubilee Head Florins from the first year of issue, 1887, in uncirculated condition. Remember these coins are 137 years old and in Uncirculated, never used condition. Supplies are limited and you can own a Jubilee Head Florin from the first year of issue.

1922 George V Silver Florin

As most collectors know, the Florin is the most difficult denomination to find. I guess that is because they only started to make silver florins in 1849. I have listed all the 500 fine Silver George V Florins that we have in stock, some are in very limited quantities, and they did not make a Florin in 1927 for circulation. The coins are in selected circulated condition.

Elizabeth II, Florin 1955 Unc

As the first coins of Queen Elizabeth II were only issued in 1953, this 1955 Florin is one of the earliest and first coins to have been issued. It is also one of the most difficult coins to find, especially in Uncirculated condition. After all the coins are now 67 years old and 1955 a Florin or two shillings was a week’s pocket money for a youngster. This is a nice group and a difficult coin to find in this unused quality. Supplies are very limited and this is one date that many collectors need.

Elizabeth II, Florin 1966 Unc

The last Florin issued for circulation was in 1967, the first year of issue was only 1849, so it is a short lived denomination.
