Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Rappen coin from Switzerland is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Swiss cross in the center, which was not included in the final version of the coin. This shield was only present in the pattern coins minted in 1875, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
