Could you please elaborate on the history behind the introduction of the pound coin? I'm particularly interested in knowing when it first entered circulation. Was it during the reign of a specific monarch? Did it undergo any design changes over the years? Understanding the timeline and context behind its emergence would greatly enrich my knowledge of British currency. Your insights into this fascinating topic would be greatly appreciated.
