1849 Great Britain Victoria Silver Florin 2 Shillings MS61

Description

1849 Queen Victoria Gothic Florin, graded MS61 by NGC. This striking Victorian silver coin features the iconic Gothic portrait of Queen Victoria facing left, wearing a crown and ornate dress. The detailed engraving and distinctive Gothic lettering give the coin a particularly elegant and recognisable appearance, while the surrounding legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA, meaning “Victoria by the Grace of God.”

The reverse features the crowned cruciform shields of the United Kingdom, representing England, Scotland and Ireland, with the date 1849 below. The intricate heraldic design and decorative lettering are characteristic of the Gothic florin, one of the most distinctive designs of the Victorian period.

Certified MS61 by NGC, this example retains attractive detail and a pleasing appearance. Presented in its original protective holder, it would make a desirable addition to any collection of British silver coinage or Victorian florins.
