Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Francs (Federal Constitution; Trial) 1998 from Switzerland is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a woman representing the Swiss Confederation, while the reverse depicts the Swiss coat of arms surrounded by the text "Fédération Suisse" and "20 Francs." The coin was minted as a trial piece in 1998, but it was ultimately not selected for circulation. As a result, it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
