The 20 Twenty Cents coin issued in the United States was produced in very limited quantities, with trial and pattern coins created in 1874 to evaluate the design and feasibility of minting such a denomination. These trial coins are highly collectible due to their rarity and historical significance, representing an experimental phase in U.S. coinage. Collectors often seek out these patterns for their unique features, as they provide insight into the evolving currency system of the time. The 20 cent piece was never widely circulated and is now considered a notable part of American numismatic history.
