<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geordiecoinman, post: 879384, member: 25040&quot;]The third coin is my George V Florin. In many ways, the design differs little from Victoria&#039;s Florin, but there are several differences, and I don&#039;t think it is as elegant as Victoria&#039;s Florin. I aplogise in advance for the poor image quality. I was a bit shaky when taking these photos.</p><p>The observe bears the image of the king himself, facing the opposite way to his father. There is a few words missing off the observe which have been moved to the reserve to save on space. I do like this image of his majesty, he looks terribly British to me, with his stiff moustache and stern apperance.</p><p>The reverse displays the year of mint (1931), and I have taken a close up of the date, as the 1 does look quite a bit like a 7. The two shields on the top and bottom are the three lions of England, the left shield is the harp of Ireland and the remaining shield, the Scottish lion. These are seperated by the royal spectre with a crown on the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
