Please be aware that there are a lot of Fake Florins coming out of China Dated 1893 to 1901 they look Genuine but there are little errors please see images I have Spotted there are others I don't know what Material there made of or there weight.
The Image's at the Bottom are the Genuine Silver Florin.
But few would get fooled by those, the portrait is too sharp and linear and looks slightly derivative. Plus it looks like they have matt finished to make them look used.
Damn Chinese fakers, I know it may be construed as racist - but does anything good ever come out of that country these days. Seriously they have had no punishment for ruining the world with Covid and its ethnic cleansing of minorities. Had of happened in Europe, they would have beem slammed.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

I agree. That country only gave troubles through the history. Today, low quality products , nothing more.
A very trustworthy eBay seller that I bought a silver half crown from actually had a page in his store explaining the differences between real coins and counterfeits. Terrifyingly, he said he’s gotten multiple emails from Chinese coin counterfeiting companies (accidental alliteration 100) advertising their products and trying to get him to sell them.
