John Conduitt Posted September 14, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2023 Victoria Jubilee Coinage Double Florin, 1887 London. Silver, 36mm, 22.60g. Head 1; VICTORIA DEI GRATIA. Four crowned cruciform shields with sceptres in angles; FID DEF BRITT REG; Roman I in 1887 (S 3922). The double florin was introduced in 1887, but discontinued in 1890 because it was frequently confused with the crown and half-crown. It earned the name ‘barmaid’s ruin’, since barmaids would have to make up the difference if they accidentally gave change for a crown in a dark pub.
