Hi

You appear to have Uk florins( the predecimal equivalent of 10p)

Both these coins are extremely common and worth very little.

I hope this helps.

Presumably it is one of these. A two shillings/florin/10 pence piece. Initially introduced as a currency coin in 1849 with the Gothic Florin as part of the attempts at decimalisation in the 1840s. These were replaced starting in 1992 by the smaller 10 pence coin, the larger pieces were finally withdrawn in 1993.
