  • Gold, Silver and the Double-Florin
    GOLD, SILVER AND THE DOUBLE-FLORIN G.P. DYER 'THERE can be no more perplexing coin than the 4s. piece . .'. It is difficult, perhaps, not to feel sympathy for the disgruntled Member of Parliament who in July 1891 expressed his unhappiness with the double-florin.1 Not only had it been an unprecedented addition to the range of silver currency when it made its appearance among the Jubilee coins in the summer of 1887, but its introduction had also coincided with the revival after an interval of some forty years of the historic crown piece.

Its fate was effectively sealed shortly afterwards when an official committee on the design of coins, appointed by Goschen, agreed at its first meeting in February 1891 that it was undesirable to retain in circulation two large coins so nearly similar in size and value and decided unanimously to recommend the withdrawal of the double- florin.3 Its demise passed without regret, The Daily Telegraph recalling a year or two later that it had been universally disliked, blessing neither him who gave nor him who took.4 As for the Fig.

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands. It is neither part of the United Kingdom nor the European Union but has a special relationship with both. Jersey is a dependency of the British Crown but remains separate in its identity from the other neighbouring islands. The Island is self- governing in all matters except defence, which is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. It operates a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, with its own financial, legal and judicial systems. Legislation is passed by the States of Jersey. Primary legislation requires the consent of the Queen's Privy Council. Jersey has a pluralistic jurisdiction, with influences from Norman customary law, English common law and modern French civil law. The language of the court is also mixed with both French and English remaining official languages of the law in Jersey, though since the 1950s English has been the dominant source for the legal system.
