{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}From 1910 to 1963, Australia circulated florin coins based on historical English designs. In 2022, a special gold version was released to honor this history, which reaches back to the 1300s. Right now, BGASC offers the 2022 1/4 oz Australian Gold Florin Coin for purchase.
Highlights:
Each 2022 1/4 oz Australian Gold Florin Coin offered here arrives inside a plastic flip for protection. This release was created to pay tribute to the long history of florin coins in both England and Australia. England first introduced the florin in 1344, and Australia issued its own version between 1910 and 1963, ending with the move to decimal currency in 1966.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2022 Australian Gold Florin, youll find a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created by Jody Clark, this image was the final version used on coins during her reign. It depicts Her Majesty in profile wearing the George IV State Diadem and was used on coins across the Commonwealth.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin features the national coat of arms of Australia. The design includes a kangaroo and emu supporting the national shield, with a Commonwealth star positioned above. Also featured is the year 1910, which marks the first year florins were issued in Australia, along with the phrase One Florin – Two Shillings.
History
King Edward III introduced the English florin with the goal of competing with the Florentine florin in global trade. The coin had a face value of six shillings and featured the king seated on a throne on the obverse, with a decorative cross on the reverse. Despite its ambition, the coin was quickly withdrawn and replaced by the noble.
