Very worn coins may be worth no more than bullion value. On 6th August 2018 silver bullion was $15.40 per Troy oz. An unworn florin dated prior to 1920 contains 0.3364 oz of silver, and this gives a bullion value of about £4.01 or US$5.18. There are 999 florin coin for sale on Etsy, and they cost $11.38 on average. The most common florin coin material is metal. The most popular color? Values, images, and specifications for florin (two shilling) coins from the UK, Great Britain, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, dependancies, and British colonies from 1849 to 1967.

The Florin was a coin worth two Shillings, it was also sometimes known as a ’two bob bit’. It was issued from 1849 until 1967 and was worth one tenth of a Pound, or twenty-four old Pence. It also bears no relation to the medieval Gold Florin which was worth Six Shillings.

Shilling coins were minted from 1910 to 1963
After 1966 decimal coins were introduced.
From 1910 to 1945 the coins were 92.5% silver
In 1946 the coins were set at .500 silver to help pay off war debts
Most coins were minted in Melbourne or Sydney mints and in USA during the war years .the US minted coins have a small S above the coat of arms.
SILVER FLORIN of 1939.
In 1936, King George V died and left his throne to his elder son, Edward. But due to a love affair, the latter preferred to leave the throne. When King Edward VIII abdicated only a few months of reign, he left the throne to his brother, George VI. In all the British Commonwealth, the new king’s portrait appeared on the coins and sometimes the coin itself suffered some design modifications.
In Australia, in 1936, Edward, due to his short reign, didn’t mint any coins, as well as in UK.
The production of the new types of coins started only 2 years after, in 1938.
The new coin was similar as style with the George Vth coins but with major difference.
For example, the silver florin (2 shillings or 1/6 of a pound) was depicting on one side the coat of arms of Australia, with a star above and the legend ONE FLORIN-TWO SHILLINGS. On the obverse, the king was crowned.
The new type was the similar but the legend was replaced with ONE FLORIN, and the country name was added in bottom together with the year. Also the coat of arms was given a crown on top, instead of the 6 ray star. On the obverse, the portrait of the king was looking in the same side but instead of George Vth old face, with crown, the much younger portrait of the new king appeared, without a crown.
The coin was same size as the old ones, was made of silver 92,5 %, with a weight of 11,31 g, 28,5 mm. The coin can be found in Krause Standard Catalogue under the position of KM#40.
In 1938, the mintage was only 2990000 pieces and a special proof strike, with an unknown number.
The next year brought a problem. The 1939 florin was minted in only 630000 pcs, the lowest mintage of this type of florins. The reasons? Wild dragon slot.
One of them is that the production of these coins in the previous years was large enough to supply the market. Also the market had the 10 s. (or 5 florins) banknote that made the payment with large quantity of florins unnecessary.The back of an Italian florin coinFlorin from Środa treasure
The Florentineflorin was a coin struck from 1252 to 1533 with no significant change in its design or metal content standard during that time.[1] It had 54 grains of nominally pure or ’fine’ gold (3.5368 grams, 0.1125 troy ounce)[2] with a purchasing power difficult to estimate (and variable) but ranging according to social grouping and perspective from approximately 140 to 1000 modern US dollars. The name of the coin comes from the Giglio bottonato (it), the floral emblem of the city, which is represented at the head of the coin.[3]History[edit]
The fiorino d’oro of the Republic of Florence was the first European gold coin struck in sufficient quantities since the seventh century to play a significant commercial role. As many Florentine banks were international supercompanies with branches across Europe, the florin quickly became the dominant trade coin of Western Europe for large-scale transactions, replacing silver bars in multiples of the mark (a weight unit equal to eight troy ounces).
In the fourteenth century, a hundred and fifty European states and local coin-issuing authorities made their own copies of the florin. The most important of these was the Hungarian forint, because the Kingdom of Hungary was a major source of European gold (until mining in the New World began to contribute to the supply in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, most of the gold used in Europe came from Africa).
The design of the original Florentine florins was the distinctive fleur-de-lis badge of the city on one side and on the other a standing and facing figure of St. John the Baptist[4] wearing a hair shirt. On other countries’ florins, the inscriptions were changed (from ’Florentia’ around the fleur, and the name of the saint on the other), and local heraldic devices were substituted for the fleur-de-lis.
Later, other figures were often substituted for St. John. On the Hungarian forints, St. John was re-labelled St. Ladislaus, an early Christian king and patron saint of Hungary, and a battle axe substituted for the original’s sceptre. Gradually the image became more regal looking.
The weight of the original fiorino d’oro of Florence was chosen to equal the value of one lira (i.e. a nominal silver pound of 20 soldi or 240 denari) in the local money of account in 1252. However, the gold content of the florin did not change while the money of account continued to inflate; by 1500, a florin was worth seven Florentine lire. The values of other countries’ money continually varied against each other, reinforcing the florin’s utility as a common measure of value for foreign exchange transactions.Other coins[edit]Gold florin or ’Beiersgulden’, struck in Holland under John of BavariaGold florin or ’Philippus goudgulden’, struck in Dordrecht under Philip the Fair
The word florin was borrowed in many other countries: for example, the Dutch guilder (abbreviated to Fl. or ƒ), as well as the coin first issued in 1344 by Edward III of England – then valued at six shillings, composed of 108 grains (6.99828 grams) of gold with a purity of 23 carats and 31⁄2 grains (or 237⁄8 carats)[5][6] – and more recently relating to a British pre-decimalsilver coin (later nickel silver) also known as a two shilling (or two bob) ’bit’ (abbreviation 2/-) worth 24 pence or one-tenth of a pound.
A regional variant of the florin was the Rheingulden, minted by several German states encompassing the commercial centers of the Rhein (Rhine) River valley, under a series of monetary conventions starting in 1354, initially at a standard practically identical to the Florentine florin (98% gold, 3.54 grams). By 1419, the weight had been slightly reduced (to 3.51 grams) and the alloy was substantially reduced (to 79% gold). By 1626, the alloy had been slightly reduced again (to 77% gold), while the weight was more substantially reduced (to 3.240 grams). In 1409, the Rheingulden standard (at the time 91.7% gold) was adopted for the Holy Roman Empire’s Reichsgulden.[7]See also[edit]
