The British 1922 Florin was designed by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, featuring a classic portrait of King George V. The coin was made of 50% silver, reflecting the economic recovery following World War I. During this period, Britain was rebuilding its economy after the wars financial strain, and coins like the 1922 Florin symbolized a return to stability.
The British 1922 Florin also marked a shift in currency design, as Mackennal’s work replaced earlier designs. The economic recovery was reflected in the broader circulation of silver coins, and the 1922 Florin’s design illustrated both national pride and the gradual post-war economic adjustment.
