The British 1910 Florin coin, designed by Edward Carter Preston, was minted during the final years of King Edward VIIs reign. Its design, featuring the Kings portrait, symbolized the stability of the British monarchy during a period of economic growth and imperial influence. The 1910 Florin, made of 92.5% silver, reflected Britains continued reliance on silver for currency, particularly during the early 20th century.
The 1910 Florin was issued as part of a broader series of coinage reform in the early 1900s. Carter Prestons design highlighted the British Empires prominence. The coin’s silver composition underscored the economic importance of precious metals during this time of industrial and global expansion.
