Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Francs coin from Switzerland features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. It was created as a trial piece in 1998, and only a small number of coins were minted. The coin's design features a stylized image of the Swiss Alps, along with the denomination and the words "Helvetic Republic" in French, German, and Italian. The coin's rarity and unique design make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
