1887 Queen Victoria Double Florins
divider
Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 and in 1838 they issued her first coinage. Because she was so young when she became Queen, this new coinage became known as Young Head Coins. In 1887 when she celebrated her Gold Jubilee, she finally allowed her portrait to be changed on the coins, this new portrait became known as the Jubilee Head Coinage. It only lasted from 1887 until 1892 when it was again changed. We have spent some time accumulating this group of 1887 Jubilee Head Double Florins in high grades to offer them to you. All are struck in Sterling Silver and all are dated 1887 the first year of this new coinage. These Double Florins are available with both the Roman or the Arabic Versions 1 in the date.
