The British 1935 Florin coin, designed by Percy Metcalfe, features King George V on the obverse and a lion and unicorn supporting a shield on the reverse. In 1935, Britain was still recovering from the effects of the Great Depression. The British 1935 Florin symbolized both the stability of the monarchy and the nation’s recovery efforts.
Struck in sterling silver, the British 1935 Florin reflected economic recovery and continuity in British currency. Metcalfe’s design, with its royal symbols, reinforced national pride and unity, marking the British 1935 Florin as a symbol of strength and resilience during a time of global uncertainty.
