| | Common Names of British Coin Denominations by Chard |
| | Some British coins had a value of thirteen shillings and four pence, but were never known as a mark. | | | This was sensible enough, because many world coins are known as "crown sized coins" or simply "crowns", although to the American mind they will probably be termed "dollar sized coins". | | | Five pound coins also did not enter regular circulation, and were only issued on special occasions. |
