High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The British five pound coin (?5) is a redenominated commemorative coin, a continuation of the former crown, being identical with it in size and weight. The crown had continued to be minted occasionally after decimalisation, with a value of twenty-five pence, although, as was the case with most pre-decimal crowns, this was not stated on the coin. The new ?5 denomination was introduced in 1990 to give the coin a value consistent with its weight and size. The ?5 coin has the same dimensions as the crown, having a mass of one ounce (28.28 grams) and having a diameter of one and a half inches,(38.61 millimetres). It is minted in cupro-nickel, an alloy of approximately 75% copper, and 25% nickel, although special versions have also been minted in silver and gold.
