Hey Jeff nice finds, allways awesome to find big silver.

At the risk of being a know it all I really have to mention that gothic florins have roman numerals for the date and were minted from 1849 to 1887. Yours is a sceptres in angles...either a George V or a jubilee victorian.

Well, I learnt something today :)
I always thought the Gothics were so called because of the font/design.
Can confirm Jeffs is a George. around 1920-23

Thanks Coinnut.
