Description. The main definition.
Florins minted 1851-87 following the <a href="https://coinsnotebook.com/1849-godless-florin-victoria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Godless Florin</a>. It was designed by William Wyon and shows Queen Victoria in a Gothic-style dress, wearing an ornate crown. The Monarch wearing a crown was unusual at the time. The legend is in Gothic script. The earlier omission of DG has been corrected, so these are not 'Godless'. The date is in lowercase Roman Numerals, e.g. 'mdccclii' is 1852. (See <a href="https://coinsnotebook.com/1852-gothic-florin-victoria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1852 Florin</a> for an example).
