Florins
| Browse our range of certified and graded British Florin coins, one of the most important and widely collected denominations in pre-decimal UK coinage. Struck by The Royal Mint from 1849 to 1967, the Florin (two shillings) was introduced as an early step towards decimalisation and remained in circulation for over a century, making it a key series in British numismatics.
The collection includes historic silver Florins from Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI, and early Elizabeth II issues. Designs range from Victorian Gothic and Jubilee portraits through to later heraldic reverses and mid-20th century Royal Mint issues. Early Florins were struck in sterling silver, with later issues produced in 50% silver before transitioning away from silver content in the post-war period. All coins in this category are professionally authenticated and graded by leading third-party services including PCGS and NGC. The range includes circulated, uncirculated, proof, and select high-grade examples, with many coins valued for their historical significance, monarch variety, and condition rarity across different eras. Certified and graded British Florin coins remain a cornerstone of pre-decimal collecting, combining long minting history, classic Royal Mint design, and independently verified condition, making them highly desirable for both advanced collectors and historic UK coin portfolios. |
