Gold 1344 Florin

From yesterday’s Daily Telegraph. The DT seems to have lots of coin stories, I wonder if the have an enthusiast amongst their reporters.

A very rare coin indeed. Shame they didn't keep the design for the half noble when they switched to the fourth coinage 'noble' series. In fact the florin coinage looked better all round to me to be fair. I'd love to see one in person.

Think you might be right.

Possibly...

But they make lots of mistakes:

Although they do get a lot of their facts wrong on general news items too.

There are good photos of it on the Dix Noonan Webb site:

For some reason the Telegraph seems to have missed these out.
