In 1921 George V was our Monarch, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party, Mussolini became Prime Minister of Italy, Gandhi was arrested for sedition, and The Ottoman Empire fell after 600 years. The BBC had its first radio service in London, Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered and Labour became the main opposition party. The first female Senator was elected in the United States, and the British Empire covered 1/4 of the world. Here are offering you the 1921 Silver Florin to commemorate 100 years of the passing of all of these events. All coins are struck in 500 fine Silver and are in selected circulated condition. Show them to your friends - they will be amazed that you have 100-year old coins in your possession. You can have any or all the coins from 1921, which today are officially antique coins.
What is special about a 1923 Florin? Nothing much except thy will soon be 100 years old. That it was struck under King George V and it was struck in silver. And, Oh yes! The denomination is the most difficult denomination to get. Usually we charge £22.50 for this coin, but we have some pieces that have just come in at just £17.50 each, they are nice selected circulated condition.
As most collectors realize the Florin or Two Shillings is the most difficult denomination to find. The Sterling Silver coinage of King George V was only issued from 1911-to 1919, so they are even more difficult to find than most. The dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates you will be sent. The coins are in specially selected Very Good - Fine condition and are over 100 years old.
Gold Sovereign from George V. The coins are selected and many are well above average. All coins are original and genuine and were struck in 22ct (916 2/3rd fine gold).
In 1918 towards the end of World War I, the Royal Mint sent Sovereign dies to India to be used in the striking of gold sovereigns. These were the only Indian Sovereigns struck until just recently when some were struck for Queen Elizabeth II. These George V Sovereigns are struck in 22ct Gold and weigh about 8 grams, they are in Extremely Fine condition. A fantastic one-year type coin of King George V and of India. Worth thinking about adding it to your collection, especially at this price! Stock availability is limited, so we can only make available 2 coins per collector.
