Title: Centenary Florin

Just paid for this from a weekend auction and I think it
could be a proof Type 2

Nice one Stevo, shame about the marks just in front of his chin and on his rib cage on the reverse and just under the L in florin but looks the goods, take it's going straight to the plastic factory..love the detail :) Even thought it's a gay bloke holding a sparkler on a horse the horse must be one of the best on any coin produced, looks like a stallion the way it's holding it's head.

It IS rather well struck up Steve, Is that a NIPPLE I can see??

It's not the nipple variety as that is on the specimen only but it has proof like
fields plus other die markers

Flat rim reverse, makes it a proof strike (about 1 in 10 were proof so in Unc condition a very nice coin to have)
