The circulating British one pound (£1) coin is minted from a nickel-brass alloy of approximately 70% copper, 24.5% zinc, and 5.5% nickel. The coin weighs 9.50 grams (0.34 oz) and has a diameter of 22.50 millimetres (0.89 in.). The coin was introduced on 21 April 1983 to replace the Bank of England one pound note, which ceased to be issued at the end of 1984 and was removed from circulation (though still redeemable at the Bank's offices) on 11 March 1988.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The circulating British one pound (£1) coin is minted from a nickel-brass alloy of approximately 70% copper, 24.5% zinc, and 5.5% nickel. The coin weighs 9.50 grams (0.34 oz) and has a diameter of 22.50 millimetres (0.89 in.). The coin was introduced on 21 April 1983 to replace the Bank of England one pound note, which ceased to be issued at the end of 1984 and was removed from circulation (though still redeemable at the Bank's offices) on 11 March 1988. One pound notes are still issued in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, and by the Royal Bank of Scotland, but the pound coin is much more widely used. It was given the nickname "round pound" on introduction, although this term did not remain in common use. As of March 2008 there were an estimated 1,452 million £1 coins in circulation.
  • Le monete da una sterlina (in inglese one pound = £1) sono composte da una lega di nickel-ottone di cui circa il 70% rame, 25,5 zinco e il 5,5 nickel. Le monete pesano 9,5 grammi e hanno un diametro di 22,5 millimetri. Le monete furono introdotte il 21 aprile 1983 per rimpiazzare le banconote da una sterlina della Bank of England, le quali cessarono di essere stampate verso la fine del 1984 e rimosse dalla circolazione (sebbene ancora cambiabili presso gli sportelli della Banca d'Inghilterra) l'11 marzo 1988. Le banconote da una sterlina vengono tuttora stampate dal Jersey, dal Guernsey e dalla "Royal Bank of Scotland" (RBS) sebbene le monete siano più usate. All'inizio venne dato il soprannome di "round pound" (in it. sterlina arrotondata o da arrotondamento), ma questo termine non rimase nell'uso comune. Nel dicembre 2005 fu stimata una circolazione di monete da una sterlina pari a 1452 milioni di pezzi.
