Queen Victoria Florin

Hello,

Althought I mostly collect ancient, I've always been thinking that the UK crown featuring Young Queen Victoria with gothic legend is the most beautiful modern coin ever... (just my opinion of course). Alas, a decent example is often worth 4 figures.
I'm glad to be able to show you today the same, but smaller, as it is a florin... and 100 times less expensive. And if one more reason is needed, it will be easier to display :goof:

The pic is the seller's, thanks to him, as I have not the coin in hand yet, but I can't resist

WOW, truly a stunning piece, thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice looking example :whistle:
and
yes i agree that design (both Crown and Florin) is indeed a "classic"

 

wow, that is a nice piece.

 

Gotta love the gothic florins. Its one of the collections i'm patiently piecing together.

 

Much nicer condition than mine (Note to self, must upgrade)

 

Wow that is a nice coin!!

 

GVF...but these coins are seriously rare in mint condition ( we are talking $500 here ) so a very acceptable example. (the type is known as the "gothic" florin, and is one out of two milled U.K coins with a Roman Numeral date.
