Was this coin circulating?
I saw somewhere it circulated, but on Numista it shows as non-circulating issue.

Maybe an idiot once spent it, not knowing what he got from someone.

I would like to know the official status of it.

Here it says the British ones are not for circulation.

As with other commemorative crown-sized coins, although they are legal tender and can be used for purchases, they are not intended for circulation and are primarily aimed at collectors. See this link:
