1948 British Florin!


Here's a coin with a somewhat interesting story. Not really historically interesting, just the way I got it. As I was walking through the flea market, I passed by the junk/world coin bin of a dealer I don't usually buy from and saw this coin. I thought it looked interesting and decided that when I was done buying from my regular dealer, if it was still there and I still had money, I would buy it. When I came back around, I still had $3.00 and this coin was sitting right where I left it. I then bought it, as well as four other coins, for $1.00. Not too bad as this coin alone is worth $0.25.
