The 1 pound Emergency Wartime Issue note, issued by the British government during World War II, is primarily of historical significance rather than face value. These notes were produced due to a shortage of metal for coins and were intended for use in specific circumstances. Today, their value can vary widely based on condition and rarity, often ranging from a few pounds to several hundred for collectors.

During World War II, the value of the British pound fluctuated due to wartime economic conditions. In 1939, before the war began, the value was approximately $4.03. However, by the end of the war in 1945, the pound had depreciated significantly, trading at about $2.80. The economic strain of the war led to changes in currency value and the introduction of rationing, impacting the purchasing power of the pound.
The face value of anything is whatever is written on it. The face value of a Pound, is a Pound.
There was no Australian currency prior to 1910. The issue of banknotes by private banks in the Australian Colonies did not commence until 1817.
It is 1 pound.
About $2.
I assume you mean it has no mint mark. Remember, Philadelphia coins did not use the P mint mark until 1980 (except for wartime 5¢ pieces) so your coin is an ordinary circulation issue worth face value only.
It is one pound!
You need to be more specific, tell us the dates and mintmarks and the denomination of the coins. "Wartime coinage collections" are privately made and contain different dates/mintmarks so it is impossible to value.
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.
