British Florin Silver Coins
| Explore our historic range of British Florin Silver Coins, featuring original pre-decimal issues from The Royal Mint and one of the most important denominations in UK coinage history. Also known as the two shilling coin, the florin was introduced in 1849 as an early step toward decimalisation and remained in circulation until 1967, with final proof issues dated 1970. At The London Coin Company, we offer a carefully selected range of British silver florins, covering a wide span of monarchs, including Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI, and early Elizabeth II issues. These coins were traditionally struck in .925 sterling silver (pre-1920) and .500 silver (1920–1946), before later issues transitioned away from silver content. Florins are highly collectable due to their classic size, long minting history, and strong royal portrait variety, making them a cornerstone series for pre-decimal British coin collectors. Each era brings distinct design changes, from Victorian Gothic and Jubilee portraits through to mid-20th century heraldic reverses. The florin also played a key role in Britain’s move toward decimalisation, being valued at one-tenth of a pound, and later circulating alongside the modern 10p coin due to identical specifications. Our range regularly includes:
British florin silver coins remain one of the most popular pre-decimal series, offering a rich combination of historical depth, monarch variety, and genuine silver content across more than a century of British coinage.
