Double Florin

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Double Florin
A former coin in the United Kingdom equal in value to four shillings, or 1/5 of one British pound. Double florins were minted briefly in the late 1800s as part of a failed attempt to decimalize the pound (which did not occur until 1971).
