ozjohn Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago A florin in 1912 is worth GBP 15.00 in buying power in 2026 . A silver florin contains one third once of silver worth about GBP 16.00 in 2026. Food for thought I think. The argument in 1919 was silver had increased in price so debase the currency. the truth was the pound had lost value due to the pressures of WW1 and with the withdrawal gold in 1914 by issuing paper promises despite a short lived return in 1925 until 1931 Quote
