The British Florin, or Two Shilling coin, was issued from 1849 until 1967, with a final issue for collectors dated 1970. Valued at one tenth of a Pound (24 old pence), it was the last coin circulating immediately prior to decimalisation to be demonetised, in 1993, having for a quarter of a century circulated alongside the then ten pence piece, identical in specifications and value. |
