Rare Brexit 50p coin sells for £10,000 in Scottish sale with more in circulation

A unique 50p coin has sold for 20,000 times its value after being listed on eBay by a Scottish seller.

Known as the Brexit 50p, the coin was bought for a whopping £10,000 on February 6, with its selling location listed in Glasgow. Officially titled as the "Withdrawal from the European Union" piece - it commemorates the UK's exit from the EU and was launched on January 31, 2020.

Described as being a 'very rare find' by the lucky Scot seller, its face bears the words: "Peace, Prosperity and Friendship With All Nations". The late Queen's portrait is used on all coinage from 1998 to 2014 is displayed on the other side.
