Best Answer

The "Pound", as a circulating unit of currency, was first issued by the Bank of England in 1797.

They did not last very long and were superceded by the gold Sovereign in 1817.

The first regular issue of One Pound notes was by His Majesty's Treasury in 1914.

The Bank of England resumed the minting of the One Pound note in 1928.
