There were no British 1952 Florins (Two Shillings) minted due to there being sufficient coins already in circulation.

Two considerations that may have influenced the non-issue of a 1952 Florin were that from 1919 to 1946, all British "silver" coins had a silver content of 50% and there was a rush to get them out of circulation, so relatively large quantities of cupro-nickel coins were minted from 1947 to 1951. From 1947, all British "silver" coins were made from cupro-nickel.

The other less likely possibility is that King George VI died in February 1952 and any coins that may already have been minted, were not subsequently issued.
