Yes
The 50 Pence coin is still in use. It is equal to half a pound (GBP).
If you refer to the British decimal Five Pound (Crown) coin, they have been legal tender since 1990 when they were first introduced. The Five Pound coin assumed the mantle of "Crown" from the discontinued 25 Pence coin. The Five Pound coin, the 25 Pence coin and the predecimal Crown (Five Shillings) all have the same dimensions. Although the Five Pound coin is legal tender, there is a reluctance by some businesses to accept them due to their unfamiliarity. Any bank will accept them and the Post Office has a stated policy of accepting them for any Post Office related goods and services.
The highest denomination general circulation coin currently in use in Britain is the Two Pound coin. The Five Pound (Crown) coin is legal tender, but they are not widely accepted due to a lack of familiarity with the coins.
Ireland does not use the dollar and never has, so there is no such thing as an Irish 1 dollar coin. Ireland was using the pound in 1952, but there was no 1 pound coin. So whatever coin you have, cannot be either an Irish one dollar coin nor an Irish one pound coin from 1952.
No, they wont accept it because they want to have coins to make change for when other people buy stuff with like 50 pound notes - so what will a 5 pound coin come use to them? - Hope this helps.
The term "pound" to describe a British monetary value has been in use for hundreds of years, but there was no official coin or banknote to the value of "One Pound" and called "One Pound" issued until much more recently. The modern Sovereign (with a face value of a One Pound or 20 Shillings) was reintroduced into the British currency in 1817. The first British coin with a "Pound" denomination ascribed to it was the 1820 Five Pound gold coin. The Bank of England produced One Pound notes periodically from 1797 to 1821. The first official regular issue of British One Pound note, which was actually a Treasury Note, was first issued in 1914. The first British decimal One Pound coin was issued in 1983.

yes 5 pound coins are legal tender
It depends on the metal you want to know about. generally if it is the metal u use in your currency as coins. Then the cost is equivalent to the value written on it.Eg If i have a coin of 1 Pound(£) this means that the metal used to make that coin of one pound is having the monetary value of one pound for that much weight of metal.
The British have not converted to the euro, they still use the pound.
