Rare 20 Bolívares pattern coin of 1989 July 20th, 2008 
Recently, I received an information about a bimetallic (same as 1000 Bolívares and 1 Bolívar Fuerte) coin of 20 Bolívares with the year 1989. This piece was initially reported by Antonio Rodríguez in 2005, and it's 28mm of diameter with plain edge. Due to the fact that there is no officially a 20 Bolívares Coin issued in 1989 (the last one was in 1912 in gold, commonly known as Bolívar de Oro), the initial conclusion is an unapproved pattern, also supported by the legend in the obverse "DETSCHE NICKEL AC. SCHWERTE - MUSTER", which "Muster" means sample from German, and "DETSCHE NICKEL AC. SCHWERTE" is the same that minted some coins issued in 1989. This coin also appeared recently in the website Monedas Mundiales del Libertador Simón Bolívar. Thanks to Salvador Márquez and Massimiliano Aiello for this report. This piece will be classified in a future Pattern section, along with other known patterns such as the Paez cents. Confirmed 10 Bolívares Fuerte serie E8 banknote June 29th, 2008
