Love the Gothic florins and even better with nice tone - you will notice that in this state of preservation the 1854 is excessively rare. It is usually very softly struck on obverse which does not help gradewise.:
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
You are correct and your Florin is even a bit more rare as it has an "onc tenth" variety as opposed to the letters "one".
Now this variety seems not as hard to find as with other Florins - but how often do these even show up? This is a very nice looking toned 1854 - hard to find this nice!
George was German, from Hanover. He didn’t speak a lick of English.
Parliament decided that an English king could only be a Protestant, so about fifty people who more rightfully deserved the crown were bypassed, and went to Sophia (granddaughter of king James VI) but she died before the reigning Queen Anne did, so it went to George her son.
He didn’t seem to like England very much. He spent a lot of time elsewhere. He even died in Germany and was buried there. The last English king to be buried outside England.
Because he couldn’t speak English he relied heavily on his cabinet and aides, led by Sir Robert Walpole. This was the foundation of the role of Prime Minister, as it was later called.

Graded PL 63 at NGC, and I believe the only halfcrown so graded. Superb in hand:

I thought that the '53 half crown must have been weakly struck as her hair looks worn. Otherwise, GREAT coins!
