The 1889 Double Florin - Victoria

Queen Victoria Silver Double Florin (four shillings piece). SCBC: 3923.

The Reverse, by Leonard Charles Wyon (brother of William Wyon), shows four cruciform crowned shields, two for England (3 Lions), Scotland (Single Lion) and Ireland (Harp). Legend "BRITT: REG: 18 87 FID: DEF". The reverse is in the style of Charles II gold coins designed by John Roettiers (1631–1703).

The edge is milled.

The Obverse of Queen Victoria's Jubilee Head by Joseph Edgar Boehm. Legend is "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA".

Some 1889 coins have an inverted Arabic '1' instead of the second 'I' in VICTORIA due to a broken punch. These can cost more than twice the price of a normal coin.

No Proofs for this year.
