The Florin was introduced into the British currency in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation which was not realised for another 120 years.
A Florin was worth 24 Pence or two Shillings or one tenth of a Pound depending on your frame of reference.
One tenth of a Florin was equal to 2.4 Pence in the predecimal currency, for which there was no equivalent coin or combination of coins.
In the British decimal currency, a Florin converted to 10 New Pence, so one tenth of a Florin converted to One New Penny.
