The poor man's Gothic Crown.
When it comes to Gothic florins / crowns, I am a poor man. I have a 'Godless' Gothic florin of 1849 in good EF, (only the tiniest amount of wear under 10x glass), and a Gothic florin of the type pictured here in VF.
But I don't have the crown. Pity.
Even the florins get to be worth some real value in higher grades, because they saw so much circulation. For a period of more than two deacads, their issue replaced that of the half crown. Higher condition Gothic florins are scarce.
I agree with mmorgans22's comments.
