    …surprisingly brought me this coin to day. Wonder what it is?

    :p

    The Double Florin was minted between 1887 and 1890, and was part of an attempt to encourage the use of silver over gold in trade, not, as many wrongly believe, part of an attempted decimalation of the currency.

    Nice that your mailman brought you something...
    My mailman, well lets just say I had to dig a deep hole, and had to hide the shovel...
    (He didn't bring me my 1885 O Morgan today!)
    I'm already on my 8th mailman, and the police are getting suspicious... LOL!!!

    :D

    Hopefully that mailman of mine will bring me a nice looking thing tomorrow! :)

    Very nice coin you got there, glad you are happy :)
