Nothing was stolen because Sherlock Holmes stopped the robbery, but I will answer the question: "How many pounds were stored in the bank vault in 'The Red-Headed League'?"

This is a difficult question to answer because the French Napoleon gold coin comes in a variety of denominations. Assuming the coins were 20 Francs (by far the most common at the time) they would equal the gold content of about 23,800 British Sovereign gold coins or about 23,800 British pounds. The equivalent buying power would be well over 2,000,000 British pounds today.

If you are asking about the weight in American pounds, the thirty thousand 20 Francs coins would weigh about 425 American pounds without the storage crates.
