| | English coin Florin or Double Leopard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Unfortunately the gold used to strike the coins was overvalued, resulting in the coins being unacceptable to merchants, and the coins were withdrawn after only a few months in circulation, in August 1344, to be melted down to produce the more popular gold Noble. | | | The florin, based on a French coin and ultimately on coins issued in Florence, Italy, in 1252, was a standard coin widely used internationally, with a value of six shillings. | | | This is unfortunate as few specimens survived of what is often regarded as one of the most beautiful medieval English coins ever produced. |
