The British 1911 Florin coin, designed by George William de Saulles, features the effigy of King George V. This design marked the beginning of his reign and the transition to more modern coinage in the early 20th century. The 1911 Florin was made from 92.5% sterling silver, reflecting Britains long-standing history as a global power during the British Empire.
The 1911 Florin was significant both politically and economically, as it coincided with the period of British imperial expansion and the build-up to World War I. The design aimed to modernize British coinage, reflecting a more regal and enduring monarchy.
