https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8564001 was created on 28 March 2013 and is found in the left-hand navigation on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin_%28English_coin%29 as a link called "Wikdata item".
So we're back to the English Wikipedia being the only functional method of navigating wikidata.
No, but since you'd had difficulty finding that item, I thought I'd show you one easy way to do so. I found it by typing the word "Florin" into the search box on Wikdiata.
Of course whats really going to mess things up is that the florin isn't a single coin but in fact a whole series of them. While it makes sense for the english wikipedia to bash them all together it makes less sense for wikidata to do so.
So fix it.
While Wikidata, which is just over two years old, has far more complete coverage than Wikipedia did in 2003, there's still work to do. You can edit it. It's a wiki.
