Silver One Florin (date?)

[RossPeplow]

Had a quick 30min hunt today with my two little boys and found this one florin coin, not sure of the date yet. Any ideas on the best way to clean it?

Well it was a nice suprise, wasn't even a proper hunt, was just spending time with my boys digging 2p's

Found with my deus at around 9"

If the roman num's on obverse, right hand side are MDCCCIIII it would be 1804--but can not make them out well--im thinking 1854-----HH

Victorian 1851 -1867 type...pretty sure.
Looks like a salt water find.
Try this.

EDIT, I can't see the letters well either.

Yeah , Rick is right on - it is a "Gothic" style florin of Queen Victoria - A very nice find ! ( bet ya didn't know she was a Goth did you ?)

Yes gothic style, we just need all the letters for a date.
