Britain has produced many different gold coins over many hundreds of years. The most common would be the Sovereign and the Half-Sovereign.

Other circulating gold coins from the past 300 years would include the Guinea, Two Guinea, Five Guinea, Half-Guinea, Third Guinea, Five Pound and Two Pound.

In more recent years there have been a lot of non-circulating gold coins minted.

There are many coins of gold appearance, but these are mostly made from a nickel brass alloy and are much more likely to be seen in circulation than genuine gold coins.

The standard denomination of English coins is called the pound, just like the US uses the dollar and Mexico uses the Peso. The subunit for the pound is the penny although the plural is not pennies but rather pence. For example, a coin worth 20 pence is called a twenty-pence piece, or 20p.
