Hi,
I have acquired this Victorian Gothic florin, it is cleaned and with some scratches but in good condition I think. What do you think?

Below the bust there seems to be a number 31 and remains of WW, is this the die number and the engraver?

Grading?
both are right.
VF+ (British grading)
AU50 Sheldon.

This coin type saw a lot of circulation - this one well above average condition compared to what is normally found.

Still a nice coin despite the cleaning. These florins circulated heavily and most of the ones I see are worn flat.

WW are the initials of William Wyon, the designer, and 31 is indeed the die number.
