The letter code is GBP (Great Britain Pound), obsolete designation UKL (United Kingdom Libra). By the way, monetary the pound sign "£" comes from the Latin "Libra". Today in the directory of British coins in use are metal and the pounds of the minimal value in 1 and 2 pound, and a bargaining chip in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 pence. Rare vintage 25-penavico or 5-funtovyj, but in most cases the price of British coins of the same value significantly higher than their actual value. In 1968, when, instead of a shilling pence, a new 50-pensava coin had the shape of an equilateral curve heptagon was made of copper-Nickel alloy. Previously, shillings were minted mainly from silver.
After 3 years already minted bronze pennies began to replace penny. At the end of the last century, bronze was replaced by a steel surface with a copper coating. Decreased and the amount of 5-, 10 - and 50-penavico. In 1998 was introduced into circulation a bimetallic 2 pound coin.
Now a shilling and a penny – it is a subject of pride for collectors, so the value of the coins of great Britain, for example, a jubilee shilling Queen Victoria coinage of 1887, will be more than a dozen pounds.
The year 2008 was marked for the UK to change the design of coins: now they adorned the Royal Shield. But here was not without incident: the collectors who will buy the coins of great Britain without specifying the date of issue, and there are about 250 000 20-penavico, very lucky, because such oversight the mint of England did not allow for more than 300 years
