<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1000323, member: 27100&quot;]There is only one 1916 UK coin that has the legend on the obverse exactly as you describe it. Does the reverse look like:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/g5/2s/2s20.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(taken from <a href="http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/florn.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/florn.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/florn.html</a>)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If so, it&#039;s a <b>Florin</b>, or <b>Two Shilling (2/-)</b>, coin. It was 1/10th of £1. The reverse if a Cruciform Shield, with the crowned shield emblems of England (3 lions) twice, Ireland (harp) and Scotland (lion rampant), showing the Union of those countries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue">Composition: 92½% (Sterling) silver</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Diameter: 28.5mm</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Weight: 11.3g</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue">Mintage: 21,064,337</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Values (in £, as at Jan 2010): F £5 VF £15 EF £22 Unc £50[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
