British Predecimal Two Shillings (Florin) Coin

British Predecimal Two Shillings Florin (Issued 1953-1967)

The florin, worth two shillings or one tenth of a pound, was introduced in 1849 as a first tentative step towards decimal currency, being exactly a tenth of a pound. Struck in cupro-nickel in its later years, it was a familiar everyday coin and, after decimalisation, continued to circulate as the equivalent of the ten pence coin until 1993.

On the obverse is Mary Gillick’s uncrowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right with the royal legend and date.

On the reverse, by Edgar Fuller and Cecil Thomas, is a design combining the emblems of the United Kingdom — a central Tudor rose surrounded by thistles, shamrocks and leeks — above the value “TWO SHILLINGS”, an intricate floral heraldic composition.
