United Kingdom
double florin
1801 to 1967
Values, images, and specifications for British
double florin coins from 1801 to 1967.
The short-lived British double
florin was minted between
1887 and 1890, however was
discontinued due to confusion
with the similarly sized crown.
(thus the nickname "barmaid's
grief" or "barmaid's ruin")
The United Kingdom double florin obverse features the robed
jubilee bust of the mature Queen Victoria.
The reverse shows four crowned shields in cruciform with
coats of arms representing UK union members, and four
sceptres diagonally between.
Both obverse and reverse designs are
almost identical to those of the smaller florin.
48 pennies = 4 shillings = 2 florins
