This photo claims to show three silver British florins. The reverses are correct, however, the obverses appear to be lifted from New Zealand coinage.

Do you think this is just a mishap or are these coins fakes?

I reckon he's posted the wrong photo of the obverses.

Real coins, - very worn. The British coins are tails and in VG and Fine condition, the Kiwi coins are Heads and only average circulated (G - VG). Either way, overpriced and just a clueless seller from texas, hardly a hotbed of BC coin collecting.

Figured the coins were overpriced.
Based on the listing, they're probably British florins - worth maybe $4 or $5 each.
I personally wouldn't pay more than $15 for this lot.

In that condition, they are worth melt only and the melt on a 50% silver florin is about $6 NZD which would be $4USD.
