Sure to take any Australian predecimal collection to a new level, we are proud to present the King George V 1925 Florin in sensational Choice Uncirculated condition!
Reflecting the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties, the mintage of the 1925 Florin was a not insubstantial 2.96 million. That mintage figure is minuscule by modern standards, of course, and given the number of coins heavily circulated, melted for the sterling silver value and simply lost over the century since struck, it’s no surprise that this date is scarce in superior quality. The number remaining in the quality seen here would be infinitesimal.
Underpinned by attractive toning, this magnificent example is notable for the sharp detail in the designs – especially the obverse. Designed by Australian artist Bertram Mackennal – one of very few artists King George V actually liked! – the portrait is superb, with a full centre diamond and all eight pearls clearly defined. Formal acknowledgment of the quality of the coin, leading 3rd party independent coin verifiers Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) have graded this 101-year-old silver beauty at MS63 – the equivalent of Choice Uncirculated quality.
With just the single coin available, you must not ignore this vital opportunity – click add to cart now!
