∙ 11y agoThe British Florin was a coin worth Two Shillings. It was also used in many of the Commonwealth countries.
At Britains conversion to decimal currency in 1971, Two Shillings converted to 10 New Pence.

∙ 12y agoThe "modern" British Florin (Two Shillings) was first issued in 1848 and last issued in 1967.
From 1848 to 1919 they were made from sterling silver.
From 1920, the coins were debased and made from 50% silver until 1946.
From 1947 to 1967 they were made from a copper nickel alloy.
The British Florin, depending on the date and condition, could be worth anything from a little to a lot.
The coins with a silver content will be worth at the very least, the current bullion value of silver.
