NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

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.
100 cents or a dollar
not sure but im gonna go out on a wing and say yes
The British Florin was Two Shillings or one-tenth of a Pound. Many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries also used the Florin. The modern Florin, not to be confused with English medieval Florin or any of the European Florins, was first issued in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation, and last issued in 1967. Since the Florin has long been out of circulation, an exchange rate is not possible, but at one-tenth of a Pound, you could equate it to one-tenth of a Dollar, or 10 cents US.
The Australian Florin was never minted in gold.
A 1942 British Florin is 50% silver, the rest being base metals such as copper.
Florin Bogardo was born on August 16, 1942, in Bucharest, Romania.
There were two different types of Australian 1954 Florin minted. The standard type with the Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse, and the Queen Elizabeth II Royal Visit commemorative Florin. The commemorative Florin has the Kangaroo and the Lion, the two animals symbolising Australia and England respectively.
There were no Australian Florins minted until 1910.
Somebody thought it was a good idea. Making jewellery from coins has been fashionable, on and off, for at least 200 years. It was not just 1942 Australian Florins either, different coins from all over the world have been made into ear rings, brooches, rings, pendants, etc.
There were only three years from 1938 to 1963 in which the Australian Florin (Two Shillings) was minted at a Mint other than the Melbourne Mint. Some 1942, 1943 and 1944 Florins were minted at the San Francisco Mint. There is a very small "S" mintmark between the 9 and the 4 on these coins. Florins minted in Melbourne during this period have no mintmark.
Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Frequently you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold. The 1927 Australian Halfpenny is almost identical to the 1911 Halfpenny shown. The 1927 Australian Florin is almost identical to the 1911 Florin shown. See the links below.
The first Australian coins to be put into circulation were the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling and Florin in 1910.
It has been fashionable on and off over many years to make jewellery such as ear rings, pendants, brooches, rings and even watches from coins. The coin would be an Australian sterling silver 1942 Florin (Two Shillings). Modified coins have no collector value. Any value would be associated with the ring as a piece of jewellery.
