	English coin Florin or Double Leopard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Florin or Double Leopard was an attempt by English king Edward III to produce a gold coinage suitable for use in Europe as well as in England (see also Half Florin or Leopard and Quarter Florin or Helm).
		The florin, based on a French coin and ultimately on coins issued in Florence, Italy, in 1252, was a standard coin widely used internationally, with a value of six shillings.
		Unfortunately the gold used to strike the coins was overvalued, resulting in the coins being unacceptable to merchants, and the coins were withdrawn after only a few months in circulation, in August 1344, to be melted down to produce the more popular gold Noble.

		The English penny was derived from a silver coin (the sceat of 20 grains weight)which was in general circulation in Europe during the middle ages.
		The pre-decimalisation coins with exact decimal equivalent values continued in use after 1971 alongside the new coins, albeit with new names, (e.g., the Shilling became the 5p coin, and the Florin equating to 10p).
		In 1920, the silver content of all British coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%, with a portion of the remainder consisting of manganese, which caused the coins to tarnish to a very dark colour after they had been in circulation for a significant period.

		As for the supply of coins, for the most of the period between the collapse of the Roman Empire and the spread of the economic empire of the Italian city states, the actual coinage remained in the hands of the nobility.
		It is important to note that the variety of coins called Florins, Ducats, Doubloons, and Gulders across the face of Europe, were generally copies of the originals, or coins merely named after the original; it is therefore impossible to accurately place a value to these.
