Five pounds (British gold coin) → Five pounds (gold coin) – While various colonies still using the pound have issued commemorative five-pound gold coins, the British one is certainly the primary topic as having been issued for over 200 years.

Got it, thx, will hold off then 'til I have time to read through and form an opinion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
