Art Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 These coins always do well in the PCIs. Are you considering entering it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside , this isnt coming from the UK , i got it from an American collector.Thanks again for the comments guys Just go to the PCI2010 subforum. You'll find submission threads for different groups. There are 10 groups. Your florin would easily fit in Group 5: 1801-1900 or you could post it in Group 10: Your Special coins. Need obverse and reverse photos in omnicoin, etc. Each submission thread has a first post that shows the format for submission. Good luck with it.

thedeadpoint Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Love the reverse. Those florins are often mouth-watering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 What always surprises me is how people sometimes talk about decimalisation like it was a new idea , a florin being 2 shillings = 10p = 1/10th of a pound , its been there all along. Thank you all for comments , its easily the finest British coin i own now.It hasnt far to travel so ill update with a good picture when i can. One other thing i find interesting is the similarity of the obverse with the 500L of Italy during the late 50's and early 60's , its eerily similar.
