Russia: 5 pounds

“Shelley’s boat, when opened, completely puzzled Solomon, and he took counsel of his assistants, who having walked over it twice, first with their toes pointed out, and then with their toes pointed in, decided that it came from some greedy person who wanted five. They thought this because there was a large five printed on it. ‘Preposterous!’ cried Solomon in a rage, and he presented it to Peter; anything useless was usually given to Peter as a plaything.”
 Illustration by Arthur Rackham for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, written by J.M. Barrie.

Private swap. Thanks, Marinka!
