Swiss 20 Francs Pattern 1876
Made by the american die cutter and inventor George Fracis Champney while he presented his new coin press machine in Brussels (Belgium) in 1877.

Unfortunatelly he did not achieve to sell a single coin press.

Private minted pattern where original coin dies from two different coins where used.

Of great rarity and if real I think should be graded by one of the two big grading companies if real.

Does the edge say CHAM PNEY BOSTON as it should be?

The bust of Leopold II is the pattern of a belgian 20 francs gold coin.
The LW is the mintmaster/die cutter Leopold Wiener
