When the reverse is rotated 90 degrees to the side on godless Florin does it affect the value?
All British Florins from 1848 to early 1887 were minted with 180 degrees rotation. A coin rotated only 90 degrees would represent a minting error and may have some value as a collectible.
A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a valuation based on inspection of the coin.
What else can I help you with?
I have two of the same Queen Victoria coins NO DATE marked on the reverse One Florin One tenth of a pound Any information on when these would have been minted or any other info?
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.

What was the godless florin?
The Florin was reintroduced into the British currency in 1848 as one tenth of a Pound (or Two Shillings), as a tentative step towards decimalisation. The usual inscription on British coins at this time was similar to this - VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF. This is Latin and the literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith". The "godless" Florins were so called because the reference to god (DEI GRATIA, DEI GRA or D G) was omitted from the Florins. There was a great furore about it, and in 1851, D G was included on the Florins.
