Philadelphia - Coins

In the realm of collectible coins, patterns refer to experimental pieces created to test new designs or technologies before official minting. The 1859 P 20 Pattern coin from the Philadelphia Mint is a notable example. This piece is part of the larger series of patterns that were produced to evaluate various design elements for future coinage, making it a significant item for collectors and historians. The existence of such patterns often reflects the Mint's experimentation during that period as it sought to modernize its coinage production.
