Comment
According to Richter only 2-5 pieces were struck.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Rappen (Pattern) 1930 from Switzerland is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was designed by Swiss artist and engraver, Paul Burkhard, and it showcases a stylized image of a Swiss mountain peak, surrounded by a wreath of edelweiss flowers. The design was intended to symbolize the country's commitment to neutrality and its connection to the natural world. Despite its beauty, the design was not chosen for circulation, and only a small number of pattern coins were minted. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors and are considered a rare and valuable addition to any collection.
