CIS records the standard 1888 issue as one of the stronger scarcity points in the short double florin run. The opportunity should still be judged through grade, asking price, source confidence and realised market behaviour rather than mintage alone.
The double florin ran from 1887 to 1890 and was struck in 0.925 sterling silver. The 1888 standard issue is one of the core circulation identities in the short series and is useful for comparing scarcity, grade and price behaviour.
Description
