A 'rare' 50p has been listed for sale for more than £13,000 in Ipswich.

The Brexit 50p coin was minted in January 2020 and was issued on the day that the UK left the European Union, January 31, 2020.

The design features the inscription ‘Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations’ - which also has the historic date underneath.

An eBay seller from Ipswich has listed the coin for sale with a £13,173.40 asking price or the best offer.

Although it has been listed as "rare and valuable" by the Ipswich seller on eBay, it is believed about 10 million coins were minted.
