The British Florin (Two Shillings) was first issued in 1848 as a "Pattern" or "Proof FDC" coin. These are high value coins and will be stashed away in a wealthy collectors safe.

The Florin was released for general circulation in 1849 without the usual "DEI GRATIA" or "D:G:" in the legend giving rise to the title, the "Godless Florin". The date is after "REGINA" on the obverse.

Due to the public outcry over the "Godless Florin", Florins minted from then on, had the "D:G:" included in the legend. These Florins, known as a "Gothic Florin", were produced from 1851 to 1887 and were so-called because the inscriptions are in Gothic style.

The date appears on the obverse in Roman numerals after "reg:f:d:", typically - mdccclii or 1852. Due to the Gothic script, it is difficult to read.

Additional information

The Florin was a very early attempt at decimalisation, being one tenth of a Pound.

When looking for dates on coins, do not forget to check the edge.
