'The New Hatch', 1887. Mr George Goschen, the Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer, is the mother hen in this cartoon. In Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Year, it had been decided to issue a number of new coins. One of these was the double florin. However, the design was generally felt to be disappointing and dull. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 9, 1887.
