1 = Low   -  10 = High

This variety should be assessed as a specialist identity, but CIS should not create rarity from missing isolated mintage alone. Pricing evidence, availability, grade, confidence and the live valuation signal remain the controlling factors.

The double florin was struck only from 1887 to 1890, making it a compact Victorian sterling silver series. The 1889 inverted 1 in VICTORIA variety is collected separately from the standard 1889 identity where market evidence supports the distinction.

Description

The 1889 Double Florin Inverted 1 in VICTORIA is a recognised variety within the late Victorian double florin series. CIS treats it as its own page identity so valuation context, collector interpretation and market evidence stay clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this variety listed separately from the standard 1889 Double Florin?

CIS separates recognised varieties when they are meaningful to collectors and pricing. The inverted 1 in VICTORIA is therefore handled separately from the standard 1889 issue.
