Henry VII Replica Testoon

Towards the end of the reign of Henry VII, in around 1504, a new coin was introduced which was known as a Testoon, from the Italian Testone or Headpiece, introduced in Milan in 1474. It was one of the first English coins to bear a real portrait of the monarch instead of the representative portrait which had served for the previous ten centuries. The Testoon later became the Shilling and was a permanent part of the circulating coinage until Decimalisation in 1971. Original examples are excessively rare and sought after and fetch over £50,000 making them inaccessible to most collectors. Thankfully, these high quality silver plated replicas have been produced so that you can see what these Testoons looked like.

Picture of Victoria, Patina Double Florin Goldine

Victoria, Patina Double Florin Goldine

The Double Florin was only issued with the Jubilee Head of Queen Victoria from 1887-1890. So INA asked what if they had issued a Double Florin with the Old Head of Queen Victoria on it, what would it look like? What they did, is in their Patina series, strike a piece to show what an Old Head Double Florin might have looked like. As usual with the Patina series, the engraving and quality of the product is outstanding. We have the Patina Queen Victoria Old Head Double Florins available in copper and goldine. Here we present the Double Florin Goldline. They won’t cost you the earth and will add to your collection. After all, they didn’t make this coin, but here it is… These are Patina retro-patterns, made to show what the coin might have looked like had it actually been made at the time. All pieces are in Uncirculated condition.
