Comment
1 known piece 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 minted in 1875 as a trial coin, and only 500 pieces were produced. This makes it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
