3. Bi-metallic Euros from Liechtenstein...by Martin Peeters, Netherlands
In 1996 Liechtenstein (by Valcambi S.A. Italy) issued a Non Legal Tender
Bi-metallic 40 Euro piece, commemorate the 150 year Liechtenstein sovereignty
and depicting "The gold wagon of the prince Joseph Wenzel". In the same series
they planned to issue a Non Bi-Metallic 20 Euro (silver). But they made a
mistake. Instead of using sliver planchet the used a Bi-metallic blank for
the 20 Euro piece. Below you seen the pictures of both Bi-metallics. According
the "Zertifikat" (Cetificate) the 20 Euro piece is mention as Silver
