florin
Old Italian coin
A florin is a gold or silver coin used in various European countries from the medieval period onward.
The name originated in Florence, where the coin was first minted.
In Britain, a florin was a two-shilling coin used from 1849 until decimalization in 1971.
The word now appears mainly in historical contexts or fantasy literature.
