1887 Florin Jubilee Head Victoria Silver Proof Coin

Collectable 1887 silver proof UK Florin, featuring the controversial Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria by Joseph Edgar Boehm.

This Florin may originally have been part of a sought-after 1887 Long Proof Set or 1887 Short Proof Set, issued to mark Victoria's Golden Jubilee and the introduction of new coinage featuring Boehm's crowned and veiled effigy, which would be used on UK coins until 1893.

• The reverse features a crowned cruciform shields design attributed to Leonard Charles Wyon
• 1887 Florin that may display signs of toning and handling, typical of historic British proof coins
