1970 Proof Two Shillings Coin in Capsule

Are you looking for a rare piece of British numismatic history? The 1970 Proof Two Shillings (also known as a Florin) is a must-have for any serious coin collector. Minted exclusively by the Royal Mint for the historic 1970 Proof Set, this coin was never released into general circulation. It represents the final chapter of Great Britain’s pre-decimal currency before the historic transition to decimalisation in 1971.

Featuring a stunning, mirrored proof finish, this 1970 florin coin showcases the iconic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the beautiful Scottish thistle design on the reverse. Because these coins were only available in official collector sets, finding a loose specimen in pristine condition is highly desirable for collectors worldwide.
