Proof Gold Piedfort 50p – Withdrawal from the European Union
Description This proof gold piedfort 50p, dated 2020, marks the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union. The withdrawal from the European Union, commonly known as ‘Brexit’, remains one of Britain’s most significant political events during the 21st century. After a large level of public support for leaving, with factors such as the economy, sovereignty and immigration, a referendum was held on 23 June 2016. In March 2017, then Prime Minister Theresa May, triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, thereby beginning the process of leaving the EU. The United Kingdom moved forward to a new chapter and this coin is a permanent record of the notable event. The reverse of the coin features calligraphy writing that reads ‘Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations’ and the obverse of the coin features Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coin comes in a plastic capsule, along with original Royal Mint boxes, informative booklet and certificate of authenticity.
