Unless you meant THIS pound sign : £ , £(halfwidth & fullwidth variants, respectively).

The L shaled sign probably comes from libra, literally pound (the weight unit).

This would also explain the ethymology of many currencies

called "Lira" (L./₤/Lit. ,₺, Lm, £sd, £S, ل.ل. , I£/ל"י‎ ) as well as the Livre Tournois (₶).

I think the lb bar sign (℔) might also have been used as

a scribal abbreviation for libra (the weight pound), although I cannot confirm... see if you can contact a typographist, or a historian, or somethiŋ...

Oddly, the currency sign of þᵉ gꚙd ol'

Roman Semuncia sign (𐆒) also looks like a fancy L...

maybe it's unintentional & the gliph was actually

supposed to be a fancy long s (ſ / ʃ)?
