This is all based on pure 24 ct gold (if it's not, it gets more complicated because different alloys may alter weights): 1 x CC (cubic centimeter ) of water = 1 gm (gram)
1 x CC of gold = 19.3 gm
1 Pound (Avo) = 453.592 gm
453.592 divided by 19.3 = 23.5021 cubic centimeters of gold.
So, working all that out into a rough rectangle, 1 pound of gold is approximately 4cm wide x 4cm long x 1.5cm high.

The English Pound has never been "gold covered". The British One Pound coin issued since 1984 is made from a nickel-brass alloy giving it a gold coloured appearance. The Sovereign coin, issued since 1817, has a face value of One Pound and is made from 22 carat gold.
