Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Pennia coin from Finland, made of Silver (.750) and weighing 1.02g, is considered a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted in 1866 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and has a relatively low weight makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
