The 1887 Great Britain Florin featuring Queen Victoria is an elegant silver issue struck during the monarch’s celebrated Golden Jubilee year. Certified AU by PCGS, this historic coin represents the grandeur of the Victorian era and the artistic refinement of late 19th-century British coinage. The florin, valued at two shillings, became one of the most recognizable silver denominations of the British Empire and remains highly desirable among collectors of classic world coins.

The obverse presents the famous Jubilee portrait of Queen Victoria facing left, wearing a small imperial crown, flowing veil, pearl earrings, necklace, and richly decorated royal attire. Fine details of the hair, jewelry, drapery, and crown remain visible, while vivid iridescent toning across the silver surfaces gives the coin exceptional visual character. The surrounding beaded border enhances the balanced Victorian composition and highlights the refined engraving style of the era.

The reverse displays an impressive cruciform arrangement of crowned heraldic shields representing the nations of the United Kingdom. The design includes the lions of England, the lion rampant of Scotland, and the Irish harp, linked together by ornate scepters radiating from a central starburst emblem. Decorative crowns, floral ornaments, and intricate heraldic textures complete the richly symbolic reverse. The combination of symmetry, royal symbolism, and detailed engraving makes this one of the most admired Victorian florin designs.

Struck in silver and certified AU by PCGS, this attractive example combines royal history, heraldic artistry, and beautiful toning. A superb addition to collections of Victorian coinage, British silver issues, and classic world numismatics.
