1887 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin Roman I Very Fine Toned

The 1887 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin is one of the most distinctive and short-lived denominations in British numismatic history. Struck during the Golden Jubilee year of Victoria, this impressive silver coin is especially notable for the sought-after Roman I variety in the date.

The obverse features Queen Victoria’s Jubilee Head portrait designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm, while the reverse displays the ornate crowned cruciform shields design associated with Victorian silver coinage.

Struck in silver, the double florin carried a face value of four shillings and was introduced as an experiment in higher-denomination silver currency. However, due to confusion with the crown, the denomination was short-lived, adding to its collectable appeal today. This example is graded Very Fine, retaining strong detail with moderate wear, and displays attractive natural toning that enhances its eye appeal and originality.

Highly sought after by Victorian coin collectors, double florin specialists and British numismatists, the 1887 Jubilee Head Double Florin Roman I is a historic and desirable addition to any advanced British coin collection.
