John Dean mentions a high-grade forgery of the 1928 florin struck from the 1926 die but does not describe any other variety. Robert Clarke offers a terse description of a variety:

> "Large 8 in-line"

I have not seen anything which might fit that description but I assume that such a variety exists.

| F28M.2A.1 Normal 8, above baseline of 2.
| F28 counterfeit from the same dies as the 1926 and 1927 forgeries. More information on the counterfeits is availabe.
