Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Francs - Mohammed V (Pattern) 1371 (1952) from Morocco made of Gold (.900) weighing 11.8 g is that it was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin, and only a limited number were produced. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
