Description: XF. From the Tom D Slater (Slater's Americana) Collection of British and related Coinage. From Google: The 1849 Model Florin in brass is a rare, non-circulating trial piece or token, often graded by NGC (e.g., MS61). It represents an early attempt at decimalization and is distinct from the 1849 silver "Godless" Florin, featuring a 26mm diameter and brass composition.
