| Additional information |
The "Patrick Mint" is not a recognized sovereign or official issuing authority, and no verifiable record exists of an authorized 20 Euro pattern struck in copper in 2004 under that name. Pattern attributions outside established mint documentation require careful scrutiny — a piece like this is more likely a fantasy issue or private strike than a genuine pre-production trial.
