florins
Historic European coins
Florins are gold or silver coins that circulated in various European countries from the medieval period onward.
The name originated with a coin minted in Florence, Italy in the 13th century, which became widely imitated across Europe.
British florins, worth two shillings, were minted from 1849 until decimalization in 1971.
The word now appears mainly in historical contexts or fantasy literature.
The merchant demanded payment in florins.
