    Flagged for counterfeit risk: 412 coins, 582–2026

    The counterfeit flag on Florin House is a rule of thumb, not a measured fake rate: it is applied to every £2 coin, to anything struck in gold, to the 1933 penny and to similar coins whose value or two-metal construction makes them worth copying. Treat the flag as a starting position when you buy or sell, and check the edge lettering, weight and detail against the coin’s page; it is not evidence that any particular coin is fake.

    412 coins are listed here, 142 in circulation condition and 270 brilliant uncirculated. Mintages run from 1 to 456,464,100 across the 368 coins with a known mintage. Values run from £0.09 to £87,865.03 across the 410 coins with a value. 51 Florin House collectors hold at least one of them. 251 values imported from Numista, latest dated 17 July 2026; 161 estimated.
