Comment
Only one known specimen.Interesting fact
The 20 Ducats 1681 coin from the City of Bern is an extremely rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Bern was an independent state, before it became part of the Swiss Confederation. This makes the coin a unique piece of history, as it represents a short-lived but significant period in the city's development. Additionally, the fact that it's made of gold and weighs 68.98 grams adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
