Is this a Florin? 1 1

[Halbrook Family]

I started to get into Canada and GB coins. Great Britain coins I am having a hard time with this one. KM 762 it looks like. Sterling? It seems more like copper though. With the 2" x 2" it weighs 12.9 g which is close to the 11.3 it should weigh.

It's got to be that. I got a what I would think would be a XF one from a year later. Same size.

You answered your own question, it is a florin and should be silver.

[Halbrook Family]

It's more golden then the picture.

It is , in fact a British Florin. The 1888 florin was the follow up to the 1887 Florin which was struck in both Gothic and Romanesque letters. Your coin exhibits a Roman “1” and is sterling silver

1887 coin is a "forlorn" florin for the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria. The obverse depicts an ugly old woman with a marked receding lower jaw and double chin, wearing a spaghetti strainer on her half-bald head. The reverse shows a mash-up of obsolete heraldic shields centered on a "plus + " sign surrounded by a smoke ring and undefined rays.

Initials under the portrait are J.E.B. Joseph Edgar Boehm who was forced to admit to the awful art work.
