Etymology

The British Pound Sterling, commonly known as GBP, has a long history dating back to the 8th century. Originally, the pound was a unit of weight for silver, but over time it evolved into a monetary system. The symbol for the pound (ยฃ) is derived from the letter L, which stands for libra, the Latin word for scale or balance. GBP has played a significant role in global trade and finance, and despite the rise of digital currencies, it remains a key player in the international monetary system.
