Commentary

A ne pas confondre avec le Florin en or du moyen age qui valait 6 shillings, le Florin en argent vaut 2 shillings ou un dixième de Livre or. En 1937, la dénomination “Florin” disparait au profit de l’inscription “2 Shillings”. En 1968, lors du passage au système décimal, le module devient une monnaie de 10 Pence..
