The 1888 Jubilee head Double Florin is a coin struck in 0.925 silver by the Royal Mint. It was produced between 1887 and 1890 as part of an unsuccessful attempt to decimalize the British currency. This portrait design by Joseph Edgar Boehm featured the crowned bust of Queen Victoria and is also know as the Jubilee Head. The Reverse is completed by four crowned shields of arms, which represent England, Scotland, and Wales, in a cruciform pattern. The reverse also features a Garter star in the middle with the four sceptres in the angles.
This 1888 coin has the inverted 1 error. The second I in VICTORIA is an inverted 1 making this the rarer more sort after variety.
The 1888 issue had the lowest mintage figures of the all the double florins issued with only 243,340 coins struck.
