The Florin (Two Shillings) was not introduced into the British currency until 1848.

A much earlier gold coin called the Florin and Double-Florin (or Double Leopard) was introduced around 1344 for trade with with Europe, but due to issues with the value of gold, the coin was withdrawn soon after its issue.

France and Italy both had similarly named coins on which the English coin was based.
