Hello collectors and manufacturers,

Why is this coin referred to as a "pattern" and not a regular copper-nickel coin?
Is there a reason for this?

Best regards, Norbert

The 999 indicates the planned coin would be a silver coin N#42732 and this is an off-metal test/pre-release strike.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, yes, but then it's simply an error strike. After all, over 2,000-3,000 coins were minted. I have a coin letter with this coin, and these were issued by "Philswiss," with a mintage of 2,000-3,000. So if it's a "pattern," the mintage should only be a few copies?

Consequently, it's not a "pattern," but an misprint ?

Norbert
