1918 Great Britain King George V Silver 2 Shillings (1 Florin) NGC MS 62

Description: 1918 Great Britain King George V Silver 2 Shillings (1 Florin) NGC MS 62 George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. George was born during the reign of his paternal grandmother, Queen Victoria, as the second son of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). He was third in the line of succession to the British throne behind his father and his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor. From 1877 to 1892, George served in the Royal Navy, until his elder brother's unexpected death in January 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. The next year, George married his brother's fiancée, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and they had six children. When Queen Victoria died in 1901, George's father ascended the throne as Edward VII, and George was created Prince of Wales. He became king-emperor on his father's death in 1910. The 1918 Great Britain King George V Silver 2 Shillings, also known as a florin, is a coin minted during the later years of World War I. Featuring the effigy of King George V on the obverse, this coin reflects the solemn and enduring image of the monarch during a tumultuous period in British history. The reverse showcases a crowned cruciform arrangement of shields representing the nations of the United Kingdom, along with scepters, symbolizing unity and strength. Struck in 92.5% sterling silver, the 1918 florin was part of the pre-decimal currency system and had a value equivalent to one-tenth of a pound. Collectors value this coin not only for its silver content but also for its historical significance, as it captures the essence of Britain during the final year of the First World War.
