No. The British Five Pound (Crown) coin is issued as a legal tender commemorative coin and is minted in various finishes and metals to appeal to the collector. Although they are legal tender, it is not intended that they be circulated. The cheapest way to buy them is as a packaged cupro-nickel "uncirculated" coin. The alternative to an "uncirculated" coin is a Proof FDC coin which may be cupro-nickel, silver, gold, and more recently, platinum.
