The Florin (Two Shillings) was a coin of the old redundant British predecimal coinage system.
The coin may have come from any of the 50 plus British Empire/Commonwealth countries.
If it is a British coin, there will be no country name on the coin, otherwise the coin will indicate the country of origin.
The first British Florin was issued in 1849, so it is unlikely that there would be a Half Florin coin minted any earlier. There was never a British coin called a Half Florin. If one existed, a Half Florin would be One Shilling.
A modified coin would be valueless. Any value would be associated with the necklace.
Such a coin does not exist. The British Florin (Two Shillings) was reintroduced into the currency in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation, a Florin being one tenth of a Pound.

The value of a Florin, which is a type of coin historically used in various European countries, can vary significantly based on factors like its age, condition, and historical significance. A Florin stamped on one side and blank on the other might be considered a novelty or error coin, potentially increasing its value to collectors. To determine an accurate value, one would typically need to consult a numismatic expert or refer to recent auction results for similar items.

The origin of the term "Florin" comes from Florence, Italy, in the mid-13th century where a gold coin called a "Fiorino d'oro" was used. Many other European countries also used a similarly named coin. England issued a gold Florin coin of three shillings at about this time, but it did not last very long. In 1848, the British Government decided to initiate steps towards a decimal currency, and so the modern Florin, being one tenth of a Pound (or two shillings), came into being. The coin was called a Florin, its value was two shillings. The earlier Florins actually had "One Tenth of a Pound" inscribed on the coin. From about 1893, the coins had "One Florin" inscribed on them. From 1937, the inscription changed to "Two Shillings" until decimalisation.
