The Florin was introduced into the British currency in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation which was not realised for another 120 years. A Florin was worth 24 Pence or two Shillings or one tenth of a Pound depending on your frame of reference. One tenth of a Florin was equal to 2.4 Pence in the predecimal currency, for which there was no equivalent coin or combination of coins. In the British decimal currency, a Florin converted to 10 New Pence, so one tenth of a Florin converted to One New Penny.
100 cents or a dollar

The value of a florin today can vary significantly depending on which florin you are referring to, as several countries have used this currency historically. For example, the Dutch guilder (also known as a florin) was replaced by the euro in 2002, and its historical value is no longer applicable. As of now, collectors might value old florins based on rarity and condition, while the modern currency equivalents generally depend on current exchange rates. Always check the latest financial sources for precise valuation.

Some 1942, 1943 and 1944 Florins were minted at the San Francisco Mint. There is a very small "S" mintmark between the 9 and the 4 on these coins. Florins minted in Melbourne during this period have no mintmark.

As of now, collectors often seek it for its historical significance and design.
