    They brought out a commemorative 50 Pence when we joined the EEC and another when it morphed into the EU.

    I don't see why not one for leaving.

    Heck, you can commemorate almost anything. Look at what the Mint (US) issues year after year (and I'm bound to buy it [one of my specialties]). I think they might do a co-commem with the Brits on this one.......Brexi (EDIT)Exit.......OK. I know, I know. It ain't gonna happen. Maybe we could enlist Danial Carr to commision such a piece? But who the devil would buy it?

    Seems worthy of a commemorative to me. This is a really big deal for our UK friends. The US issues commems for far less significant events.

    Makes sense they did, disappointed in the design though

    Your mileage may vary, but I can think of few contemporary coins that don't disappoint. There was a thread last year that explored that very subject:
    Best Designs for Modern Coins?

    I agree. It seems more apologetic or sensitive to triggering Brexit opponents than it does celebratory.

    Great Britain generally does a good job with them, though this years set is their worst in many years.

    Exactly, I would have never even been able to guess the subject matter from that one.

    Yes, it sounds like something marking the end of a war between several countries.
