<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geordiecoinman, post: 882184, member: 25040&quot;]Thank you physics-fan. I like most British coinage, which can be a problem when choosing what to buy next! I woud like my collection to be focused mainly on mid-range coins (i.e. shillings and florins), but I&#039;ll probably end up buying a five guinea coin on impulse <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my collection, I would like to have a &quot;godless&quot; Victorian florin, a Victorian gothic florin, a Victorian jubilee florin, an old head Victorian florin (I do love vicky!), an Edwardian florin, a George V florin, an Edward VIII two shilling (after his short reign, the coin became knowon as two shillings rather than a florin), a George VI floirn and a florin from our current monarch, her majesty Queen Elizabeth II (long may she reign!). </p><p><br /></p><p>One fact my Grandad told me today about the florin (or two shilling coin as he would&#039;ve known it) is that it was called a &quot;two bob piece&quot; or &quot;two bob bit,&quot; one bob being slang for shillings, much like quid for pound nowadays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
