Valued at one tenth of a pound, the names ‘Centum, Decade and Dime’ were suggested before the name Florin was formally adopted.Although we are now accustomed to seeing a crowned monarch on our coinage, the portrait of Victoria wearing a crown was unusual to the general public and it was the first coin to feature a crowned monarch for over 200 years.A collector's favouriteThe coin earned its name from the distinctive Gothic-style inscription on the obverse side.
