The coin shows the inscription “Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations” along with the date ’31 January 2020′ – the day the UK formally left the European Union.
The Royal Mint says the coin “marks a significant moment in British history, celebrating the end of the UK’s 47-year membership in the EU.”
