The standard 1889 issue is a useful liquidity and benchmark coin for the denomination. It should usually be assessed through price discipline, grade-adjusted fair value and confidence rather than treated as a scarcity-led purchase.

The double florin was introduced in 1887 and discontinued after 1890. The 1889 standard issue belongs to the mature part of the series and is useful as a comparison coin for pricing, liquidity and grade behaviour.
