The Arabic 1 issue should be reviewed as its own collector identity rather than blended with the Roman I type. Treat variety-level rarity carefully: CIS should rely on verified pricing evidence, availability, grade, source confidence and live valuation output rather than assuming a separate mintage where the evidence is not clean.
The double florin was introduced in 1887 during Queen Victoria’s Jubilee coinage and remained a short-lived sterling silver denomination through 1890. The 1887 issue is important because collectors recognise both Roman I and Arabic 1 date styles within the first year.
Description
The 1887 Double Florin Arabic 1 is one of the recognised first-year varieties of Queen Victoria’s short-lived double florin series. CIS separates it from the Roman I variety so the page can keep identity, pricing context and valuation signals clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 1887 Double Florin Arabic 1 different?
It uses an Arabic numeral 1 in the date, unlike the Roman I variety. CIS keeps the two first-year varieties separate because collector demand and market pricing can treat them differently.
