Comment

There are two versions and both are very rare.  The Model Double Florin as pictured is listed as #215 in Rogers, David J. de Sola. Toy Coins. Galata Print, Wolverhampton, UK, 1990.  It also may be #215a which is the center piece of the bimetallic New Model Crown (#212 in the aforementioned reference).
