Raimey,

the 'Florin was a monetary unit in Europe around that time. A coin, I believe.

here something from Wikipedia:

When the Gulden was decimalized in 1857, new coins were issued in denominations of ​1⁄2 (actually written ​5⁄10), 1 and 4 Kreuzer in copper, with silver coins of 5, 10 and 20 Kreuzer, ​1⁄4, 1 and 2 Florin and 1 and 2 Vereinsthaler and gold coins of 4 and 8 Florin or 10 and 20 francs. Vereinsthaler issues ceased in 1867. Vereinsthaler = ​1 1⁄2 Florins
