    Now, that is a beautiful coin. The only one better is the Gothic style. Congrats on the upgrade!:thumb:

    wow.

    EDIT: did a little research on why its called "godless" apparently it is the this coin is unusual in some aspects;

    "The first coin, issued in 1849, was unusual in two respects. First the queen, Victoria, was portrayed wearing a crown for the first time since the reign of Charles II, and secondly because the coin omitted the Dei Gratia, or even DG in the inscription, so it became known as the Godless Florin."
