If you refer to the British decimal Five Pound (Crown) coin, they have been legal tender since 1990 when they were first introduced. The Five Pound coin assumed the mantle of "Crown" from the discontinued 25 Pence coin. The Five Pound coin, the 25 Pence coin and the predecimal Crown (Five Shillings) all have the same dimensions. Although the Five Pound coin is legal tender, there is a reluctance by some businesses to accept them due to their unfamiliarity. Any bank will accept them and the Post Office has a stated policy of accepting them for any Post Office related goods and services.
