Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Centimes coin from Belgium, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 7.71g, features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design that was not released for public use. This makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
