Rare Brexit 50p coin in mint condition listed on eBay for £4,000

The coin, which dates back to January 31, 2020, was minted to mark the UK's exit from the European Union.

A rare Brexit 50p coin is being sold on eBay for a staggering £4,000.

The coin, which was minted to mark the UK's departure from the European Union, is now being flogged online by a hopeful seller.

It features Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the inscription "Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations" on the other.

The listing describes the coin as being in "mint condition" and adds that there is a £1.83 delivery charge.

According to Change Checker, a Royal Mint distributor, there were 10,001,000 of these coins minted, making it the only official UK coin to commemorate leaving the EU.

The minting of the coins was ordered by Sajid Javid, then Chancellor of the Exchequer and marks the date that the UK left the EU, January 31, 2020.

A Royal Mint spokesperson previously said: "Ultimately a coin is worth what a collector is willing to pay for it, but there are factors you should consider before committing to a price.

“This can include the condition of the coin, its design, mintage figure and what it’s made of.

"If people are looking to sell a coin on the secondary market, and the coin has an unusually low mintage, then it might sell for higher than its face value."
