1893 ZAR Florin Silver
Also known as: 1893 2 Shilling, South African Two Shilling, or South Africa 2/–.
The 1893 ZAR Florin is the second year of issue for the denomination and had a significantly higher mintage than its 1892 counterpart. Despite this, high-grade examples are still considered difficult to obtain. The coin is not known to have been struck in proof, adding to the challenge for collectors seeking pristine examples.
