British Coins, Victoria, pattern double-florin, 1868, in gold, plain edge, struck en médaille, young head l., wearing coronet, rev. DOUBLE FLORIN 1868 within wreath, 5 FRANCS INTERNATIONAL around (W&R.372 [R4]), certified and graded by NGC as Proof 65 Cameo, hazy surfaces having light abrasions, very rare
Designed by William Wyon, this pattern was one of a series of pieces of this period experimenting with the concept of producing coins for international trade. The outer legend 5 FRANCS INTERNATIONAL indicates this coin's intended use, but it was never adopted when the idea of such interchangeable coins waned.
($12800-13800)
