10 Rarest and Most Valuable Coins
10. 1344 Edward III florin
Also known as Double Leopard, the Florin was introduced in 1344 by English king Edward III. The coin had a value of 6 shillings and was aimed to be used across all Europe. The obverse of the coin depicted the King enthroned beneath a canopy, with two leopards’ heads at the sides and the reverse shows the Royal cross within a quatrefoil and a leopard in each spandrel. The coin, however, was withdrawn only a few months later. It is probably the rarest coin in the history of British numismatics. Only three specimens of this coin are known to exist currently. One piece is privately owned, which was sold at auction in July 2006 for $6, 80,000, record price for a British coin. The other two are exhibited in the British Museum.
