Almost got excited by that one but "Doesn't post to the United States". I haz a sad. 

Thanks for the information I already have a couple of 1916 florins in reasonable condition but I was trying to complete the series with a MS 63/4 encapsulated coin to join the other George V encapsulated florins I have. So there's no hurry and I will bide my time.

I think there's a clue as to it being a hat, it's a very faint outline which may be the circumference of the head hole / inner brim:

I forgot: the man accompanying the dame with the hat. Clearly not the person in the tower in the OP.

Please, don't look at photos and don't read things, if doing all these things are going to make you  r c . I mean that in the nicest possible way. I never once said it was the same woman with the same hat. In fact l said the opposite - it wasn't that hat  The woman is wearing a dress. The woman in OP is not wearing a dress. And it is a woman, not a man. That much is evident from the photo itself as well as my memory (you seem to forget that l was actually there and lived and breathed the continuity throughout all scenes). The woman in that OP isn't even wearing shorts like the man is.    Also it's better to not just ignore what was said about the hat, e.g.:     Further: - Note that l actually went to the trouble of showing the woman with the hat. I'm being objective. Not trying to throw my daily wobbly online. - Holding a hat would deform the disc, but the disc of this hat seems ideal (l refuse to use the word "perfect") - A hat would need a hole for the head - And again, note that if it's a planar object like a hat brim, it presents too perfectly, there's no skewing of perspective. It would be both a ideal circle, and perfectly perpendicular. I would be inclined to say instead that it is a sphere, a sphere would present an ideal circle no matter the viewing angle, see below:       Easier to just ignore what's been said and throw a wobbly, right? Avoid photos and words if you're like that.
