Florins (Two Shillings): a classic British pre-decimal coin

Florins are British two-shilling coins, often called the “two bob bit”, issued from 1849 to 1967 and featuring monarchs from Victoria through to Elizabeth II. Many earlier florins were struck in silver, with sterling silver issues from 1849–1919 and 50% silver issues from 1920–1946, before moving to cupronickel from 1947 onwards. When choosing a florin, date, condition and overall eye appeal tend to have the biggest impact on desirability and price.
