Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Francs - Léopold III (Pattern Strike) 1938 is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern strike, meaning it was created as a trial or sample coin to test the design and production process, and only a limited number of coins were produced. As a result, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable addition to any collection.
