No circulating British decimal coin contains any silver at all.
The closest you might have got, prior to 1920, to a pure silver circulating coin was 92.5% (sterling silver), the standard at the time.
From 1919/1920, the silver content of British Coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%.
From 1947, all British "silver" coins contained no silver at all, they were made from a copper-nickel alloy.
There are a number of non-circulating British coins minted from time to time, that have a 92.5% silver content.
