Lot of 2 George V Silver Florins 1921 E.F. & 1936 V.F. by Mackennal & Gray

Product ID: 242050968

Description

This auction features a stunning lot of two silver florins from Great Britain, both coin designs from different years during the reign of King George V. The first coin, a 1921 Great Britain Silver Florin, has been graded as E.F. (Extremely Fine), showcasing light yet even wear that enhances the character of this historical piece. The magnificent design details, including the King's hair and shield features, are still very clear, surrounded by a clean surface with a consistent patina. The second coin, a 1936 Great Britain Silver Florin, is graded V.F. (Very Fine). This coin exhibits moderate wear, specifically noticeable on the portrait's hair and reverse shield details, but retains all major design elements prominently intact. Both coins are made from .500 silver content and are significant for collectors, with the 1921 piece representing the first series issued post-World War I, and the 1936 piece reflecting the 'small head' portrait redesigned by the notable artist, George Kruger Gray. The artist behind the obverse of the 1921 florin, Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, is recognized for his influence in coinage and medal design. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of British history.
