Best Answer

A British 1848 sterling silver (godless) Florin (Two Shillings)(Victoria)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2,050 GBP.

These coins were never issued for general circulation, only as a Proof coin.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

What was florin in 1492?

The Florin (Two Shillings) was not introduced into the British currency until 1848. A much earlier gold coin called the Florin and Double-Florin (or Double Leopard) was introduced around 1344 for trade with with Europe, but due to issues with the value of gold, the coin was withdrawn soon after its issue. France and Italy both had similarly named coins on which the English coin was based.
