Key Fact
Description
This is a 1933 British silver florin, featuring King George V on the obverse and the royal arms on the reverse. The coin is made of silver and has a reeded edge. It was part of the coinage during King George V's reign, which lasted until 1936.
History
The florin was introduced in 1849 as a two-shilling coin, intended to align with decimal currency proposals. This 1933 florin was minted during a period of economic hardship for Britain, leading up to the abdication crisis and World War II. The design by Kruger Gray for the reverse aimed to represent the united kingdoms.
Facts
This florin is notable for its bimetallic composition, though often mistaken for pure silver. The year 1933 is significant as it saw very few coins produced due to economic conditions. The design elements are rich in heraldic symbolism, reflecting the union of the crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Value Fact
Silver florins from this era, especially in good condition, are generally accessible to collectors. While not exceptionally rare, the 1933 mintage figures suggest a steady supply. Prices typically range from $5 to $20 depending on the grade and market demand, making it a popular entry-level piece.
