Godless Florin 1849
Godless Florin 1849
Description
A unique coin, the first British decimal coin ( one tenth of a Pound) also called the Godless Florin.
It is famous among collectors because the Royal Mint omitted the standard Latin abbreviation D.G. (Dei Gratia, meaning "By the Grace of God") from the obverse legend, which simply reads VICTORIA REGINA 1849. Public outcry over the omission led to the coin being redesigned in 1851.
Historical Significance: It was Britain’s first decimal coin experiment, clearly marked ONE TENTH OF A POUND on the reverse.
Composition & Specs: Struck in .925 sterling silver, weighing 11.31 grams.
