A superb example of the celebrated 1849 “Godless” Florin, the first issue of the denomination and among the most iconic coins of the Victorian era.
Struck without the customary Dei Gratia (“by the grace of God”) in the legend, this short-lived design quickly attracted controversy and remains one of the most sought-after types in British numismatics.
This example is notably sharp, with a finely detailed portrait and well-defined reverse. Traces of original lustre remain, contributing to strong overall eye appeal.
Increasingly difficult to locate in higher grades, the type continues to command sustained collector interest and is widely regarded as one of the most attractive Victorian designs.
A highly desirable example of this classic issue.
