1887-1890 Queen Victoria Double Florin

Step back into the grandeur of the Victorian era with the 1887-1890 Queen Victoria Double Florin.

This striking silver coin, part of the limited mintage during the latter years of Queen Victoria's reign, showcases exquisite craftsmanship with the Jubilee Head of Queen Victoria, designed by Sir Joseph Boehm, on the obverse. The reverse, a creation of Leonard Charles Wyon, features an elegant design of four crowned cruciform shields, symbolising the nations of the United Kingdom, with sceptres positioned strategically in the angles.

When this coin was first issued, it quickly earned the nickname “The Barmaid’s Ruin.” In the dimly lit pubs and taverns of the time, barmaids often mixed it up with the larger and more valuable crown — they were almost identical in size. Sadly, a simple mistake in change could mean losing their job, which only added to the coin’s colourful reputation.
