History of the Florin

The silver florin was Britain's first decimal coin. A gold florin was first issued during the reign of Edward III in 1344 at a value of six shillings. The name derives from Italian, either fiorino (little flower) or Firenze (Florence) and was inspired by a similar continental coin.

The florin itself continued until 1967, after which a "10 new pence" coin was issued, identical in size and weight to the old florin or two-shilling piece. In this way, the florin did indeed help to pave the way for Britain's decimalisation, although it did take 122 years!

Obverse

The obverse of the coin shows the bare head portrait of George V facing left, with the legend that reads as:

GEORGIVS V D.G.BRITT:OMN:REX F.D.IND:IMP:

Reverse

The reverse of the coin shows the top and bottom shields that feature three lions representing England, the left shield includes a harp for Ireland, and the right shield has one lion for Scotland. An inscription around the design reads as:

ONE FLORIN

At the bottom of the coin design includes the issue date of the coin, "1912".

The Star rating should be 5 stars

The Star rating is not just 4 stars but it should have been 5 stars that will not light up, I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet at gold prices most 1oz is mainly at current gold values. However sovereigns have different pricing up to a third more, yet I found Chards prices are very fair prices which I have bought 3 sovereigns this year.
