1890 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin Good Very Fine

The 1890 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin is a desirable Victorian silver coin from one of Britain’s shortest-lived denominations. Introduced in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, the Double Florin had a face value of four shillings and remains a fascinating and increasingly collectable piece of British numismatic history.

The obverse features the distinctive Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, depicting the Queen wearing the Small Diamond Crown and a ceremonial veil. The reverse displays crowned cruciform shields representing the nations of the United Kingdom, separated by sceptres, with the Order of the Garter Star at the centre, creating one of the most impressive reverse designs of the Victorian era.

Struck in sterling silver (.925 fine), the Double Florin weighs approximately 22.62g and measures 36mm in diameter. Although produced for only a short period between 1887 and 1890, the denomination has become highly sought after by collectors due to its distinctive design and limited production history.

This example is graded Good Very Fine, retaining strong detail across both the obverse and reverse, with moderate wear consistent with the grade. The attractive level of preservation makes it an excellent addition to any collection of Victorian silver coinage.

The 1890 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Double Florin – Good Very Fine is a wonderful piece of British numismatic history, appealing to collectors of Victorian coins, Queen Victoria issues and historic silver denominations alike.
