Individual George VI Post-1946 Mixed Date Florin.

This is an individual coin and not a set of 3. We will select a single coin at random meaning the condition and date of the coin will vary. The coins are base-metal and have no silver content.

We do have a variety of assorted coins available so if you want a good higher grade specimen please get in touch on live chat or 01253 343081 and we can sort, grade and price one up for you. If you're interested in a bag of the coins, make us an offer!

This coin will be chosen from a mixture of cupro-nickel florins which were issued during the reign of George VI. The dates range from 1947 to 1951.

Types of George VI Florin Coins

During George VI's reign there were 3 types of Florins issued. The first kind was 50% silver and issued up until 1946 inclusive. The reverse text reads:-

The second type was introduced in 1947 when they removed the silver content from the coins and changed them to an alloy of copper and nickel, referred to as cupro-nickel. The design on the coin remained the same as the silver counterpart.

The final type were issued from 1949 - 1951 and featured the revised reverse text:-

FID DEF TWO SHILLINGS (DATE)
