1948 Two Shillings - "Ind Imp"?

I have always found it curious that Canada went to great lengths to avoid issuing 1948 coins bearing "IND IMP" and other dominions simply stopped making coins until changed dies could be provided, whereas Britain itself carried on using the term on the coinage throughout 1948. Wikipedia mentions the fact without offering explanation.

I do not know if it was because of laziness, indifference, being in a state of denial, or in recognition that some of the Indian princely states refused to acknowledge the rule of the Indian republic until forced to do so by the Indian military. Hyderabad, for example, was a Hindu-majority but Muslim-ruled state in southern India that refused to join either India or Pakistan and sought to remain a British dominion. It remained de-facto independent until September 1948.

Looking for good news since I just found out that the 1800 liberty coin I have I'm pretty sure is a fake. Pretty disappointed I am.

A 1948 British florin is not made of silver. As such, survival rates are high (because very few have been melted down) and the mintages were quite high to start with. They are, therefore, quite common. You could even still find them in change in Britain up until they shrunk the size of the 10p piece in 1992, as a florin was still legal tender for ten pence.

In the condition of the OP's coin, the catalogue value is about 50 cents.
