Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Schwaren coin was minted in 1781 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a test run to evaluate the quality of the dies and the minting process. Despite its limited production, the coin has become a highly sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
