Why were no British coins made in 1805?
Because the British empire in 1805 had a shortage of bullion (gold and silver), copper coins were still produced on a contract-basis at the Soho Mint and the price of copper had risen, making it impractical for them to issue copper coins. This eventually lead to the adoption of the gold standard (rather than the dual gold and silver standard) in 1816 and a complete recoinage of the nation's gold and silver (and later copper) coins.
