Victoria, Florin (Gothic) Fine

8 coin proof set in original Royal Mint packaging.

This is the middle type of coinage struck for Queen Victoria. It was only issued from 1887-1892 and was first issued for her Golden Jubilee. Thus this coinage became known as Queen Victoria Jubilee Head coins. The coin on offer is the Halfcrown or Two Shillings and Sixpence. You have the Jubilee Head of Queen Victoria on one side and a shield in a Garter with in an ornate circle of medals. The coins are struck in Sterling Silver (925 fine). Dates will be of our choice but will be in Fine condition. The more you order the more different dates we will try and give you. In 1887, a Halfcrown was a lot of money; today they are more reasonably priced.

King William IV, also known as the Sailor King, only ruled from 1830-1837. The smallest coin that was regularly issued for circulation was the copper farthing and that was issued for only five years. It is a lot more difficult to get than many collectors and dealers realise. Here we offer King William IV's Farthing in Fine condition. You have the bare head of the King on the obverse and a seated Britannia on the reverse. We are selling them by type, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and send you. They are almost two hundred years old and this Monarch did not rule for long.
