1890 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin Fine Plus

The 1890 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin is a distinctive Victorian silver coin struck during the reign of Victoria. As one of Britain’s short-lived and unusual denominations, the double florin remains highly collectable among enthusiasts of historic British coinage.

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 currency.

Struck in silver, the double florin carried a face value of four shillings and was introduced as part of an attempt to decimalise British coinage. Its similarity in size to the crown led to confusion in circulation, resulting in a short production life that adds to its numismatic appeal today. This example is graded Fine Plus, retaining good overall detail with moderate circulation wear consistent with its age.

Highly sought after by Victorian coin collectors, double florin specialists and British numismatists, the 1890 Jubilee Head Double Florin is a historic and desirable addition to any British coin collection.
