Comment
2 known pieces according to Jürg Richter Die Proben und Materialvarianten von Schweizer Münzen, 2016.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Rappen coin from Switzerland is that it was designed with a unique coat of arms that features a shield with the Swiss cross in the center, surrounded by two lions and topped with a crown. This design was intended to symbolize the country's strength and unity.
