Country and Denomination: It's a 20 Rappen coin from Switzerland. The "Rappen" is a subunit of the Swiss Franc, similar to a centime or centesimo in other regions of Switzerland.
Year and Mint: The coin was minted in 1891 at the Bern mint, as indicated by the "B" mint mark.
Composition: The 20 Rappen coins from 1881 onwards, including this 1891 issue, were made from Nickel.
Design:
Obverse (front): Features the crowned head of Libertas facing right, with "LIBERTAS" inscribed on her headband, and the inscription "CONFEDERATIO HELVETICA" circling the outer edge.
Reverse (back): Typically shows the value "20" within a wreath, although the reverse is not pictured in the provided image.
Historical Context: Prior to 1881, 20 Rappen coins were made from a blend of copper, zinc, nickel, and silver. The switch to pure nickel in 1881 made them more challenging to counterfeit. This coin was retired from legal tender status as of January 1, 2004, but remains redeemable.
