Half Florin
The Half Florin (also known as a Leopard) was an attempt by English king Edward III to produce a gold coinage suitable for use in Europe as well as in England (see also Florin or Double Leopard and Quarter Florin or Helm). The half florin was largely based on contemporary European gold coins, with a value of three shillings.
