Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Swiss Post 20 Francs coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Swiss Postal Service. The coin's obverse features a stylized image of a posthorn, which is a symbol of the Swiss Postal Service, surrounded by the words "SUISSE POSTE" and the coin's denomination. The reverse of the coin features a stylized image of a compass, which represents the idea of communication and navigation, and the year of issue, "1999". The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
