Hi mates! This is my first Florian. I bought it today. Many times I almost purchased one, but always escaped through my hands. The pictures do not do justice with the coin, much more beautiful in hands. It’s possible to see a double strike on the bust, and in the legends in reverse. Is well centered, anyway.

Awesome coins, guys! Thanks very much! It's very interesting to see a great variety of types for a ruler who stayed in power for less than 3 months!We already have a good database. Hartelijk dank, @Andres2 ! Je muntje is ook erg leuk! @Bing , despite he had ruled 10 years after Florian, your 2nd coin resembles a Carausius' bust! Very interesting.
