Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Francs - Léopold III (Pattern) 1935 from Belgium is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of King Léopold III's reign, but due to political tensions and the outbreak of World War II, the coin was never minted or distributed. As a result, only a small number of pattern coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
