1849 1 Florin - Victoria 1st portrait; 'Godless' type

[Citizen H]

a early Florin

minted only for 1848-1849...

unfortunately its not in the best of condition,  rubbed with a gash 😟

I did read some of these have smaller numbers... I take it this is the large numbers ?

No. All have the same size font digits.  What you might be getting confused about is that some 1849 specimens (not yours above) have the small WW initials next to the date obliterated by the linear circle. These ones are taken from an 184(8) pattern matrix which has had the linear circle re-engraved (and the 9 added), thus obscuring the original WW initials.

Or possibly a confusion with 1849 halfcrowns, which are indeed known with both normal and smaller date digits (latter is rarer).
