Two Bob was the traditional nickname for the British florin (2s), a popular denomination of pre-decimal British currency. Worth two shillings or 24 old pence, the florin was introduced in 1849 and remained in circulation until decimalisation in 1971.
The nickname ‘Two Bob’ simply referred to the coin’s value of two shillings, with ‘bob’ being the traditional slang term for a shilling.
A fascinating piece of British numismatic history, Two Bob is ideal for collectors interested in British coin nicknames, pre-decimal currency and the history of UK coinage.
