Enamelled Coins (3), Victoria, Halfcrown, 1880, young head, pin-brooched; Jubilee Shilling, small head, date uncertain, probably 1887; Jubilee Florin, 1900 (sic), broken pin brooch, all with reverses enamelled. Somewhat chipped (£20-25)

The reason for the incorrect date on the reverse of the Florin can never be known; but perhaps the piece was intended to celebrate the new century or a private anniversary of some kind.
