The Roman I variety is a benchmark first-year identity for the denomination. CIS records it separately from the Arabic 1 issue so valuation can reflect its own grade, market supply, evidence strength and current Buy/Hold/Pass output.

The double florin was introduced in 1887 as part of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee coinage. The Roman I date style is one of the key first-year varieties and sits at the start of a compact series that ended after 1890.

Description

The 1887 Double Florin Roman I is the companion first-year variety to the Arabic 1 issue. CIS treats it as a separate valuation identity so collectors can review its specifications, mintage context and market signal independently.
