    • 🔍 Numismatic Significance

      This coin marks one of the final years before the UK reduced silver content in circulating coinage (from 50% to cupronickel in 1947). The 1928 Florin is prized for its balanced design and historical resonance—especially among collectors who appreciate the artistry of George V-era coins.
