If any banknote has "SPECIMEN" stamped across it, it is not a genuine banknote. It is a genuine copy as distinct from a forgery, and is not legal tender.

Although it is legal tender, the British Five Pound coin is not intended to be a circulating coin, but a collectible of a commemorative nature. In their year of issue, you should be able to buy a specimen cupro-nickel Five Pound coin from the Royal Mint for Five Pounds. Mostly, the Five Pound coin is minted as a Proof FDC coin, often in silver or gold and occasionally in platinum. The process of producing Proof FDC coins results in a finely finished coin with a mirror like finish on the flat surfaces and suitably packaged to protect it. This finishing process comes at a cost and the price of the coin increases exponentially if the coin is minted from a precious metal.
