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.

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.


What is the value of a 1787 George III Florin?

Please check your coin. The word "spade" referring to British coins is a reference to the "spade" shaped shield on the reverse of gold Guinea and Half-Guinea coins minted between 1787 and 1800. The Florin coin was not (re)introduced into the British currency until 1848.


If something says Victoria DEI GRATIA on the back and a FID DEF Britt Reg 1889 coat of arms on the front is it worth anything?

If the "something" you refer to is a coin, it is probably a sterling silver Double Florin (4 Shillings) or a sterling silver Florin (2 Shillings). Both of these coins have what is known as the "Jubilee Bust" of Queen Victoria on the front. The Double Florin is 36mm in diameter, weighs 22.62 grams and has crowned cruciform shields on the reverse with sceptres in the diagonals. An 1889 Double Florin in fair to good condition might get anything from £12 to £20 GBP. The Florin is 29.5mm in diameter, weighs 11.3 grams and has the same design as the Double Florin on the reverse. An 1889 Florin in fair to good condition might get anything from £10 to £25 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection and positive identification of the coin.
