Brexit 50p coin: Philip Hammond to unveil the commemorative piece in today’s budget?

Philip Hammond will unveil a commemorative Brexit coin to mark Britain’s departure from the EU, it has been reported.

The Chancellor will announce details of the seven-sided 50p piece in the Budget today, according to The Sun.

The coin will be available from March 29 – the day the UK leaves the EU, the paper said.

It is expected to carry the words “Friendship With All Nations”.

It is not yet known exactly what the coin could look like, if the reported plans do go ahead.

The EU has come out and said there are no plans to mint a special euro coin to mark Brexit.

A European Commission Spokeswoman said: “We have no current plans to do anything of the sort.”
