Victoria 1890 Silver Double Florin
Offered is a lovely Double Florin, or 4/- coin, also known as the ‘Barmaid’s Misery,’ owing to its similar size to the Crown (5/-) but lower value, KM#763. This 1890-dated coin bears good detail, and retains an original patina, somewhat unusual for this type, with many examples appearing harshly cleaned. All in all, a wholesome example of an underrated type.
