| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered arms of the Principality of Liechtenstein, surmounted by a princely crown, occupy the centre of the design within an ornate beaded cartouche frame, flanked by symmetrical olive and oak branches forming a wreath. The denomination 20 KR appears divided to the left and right of the shield, while the date 1898 is displayed in the exergue below the wreath, accompanied by the word ESSAI to its right, denoting the pattern status of the piece. A continuous beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johann II ruled Liechtenstein for 70 years — the longest reign of any European monarch in recorded history — yet the principality struck almost no coinage of its own during his tenure, relying instead on Austro-Hungarian currency for everyday commerce. This 1898 pattern was part of a short series of trial pieces produced but never approved for circulation, almost certainly intended to demonstrate monetary capability rather than fill any practical need.
The Divo-Murbach reference places it among a handful of documented Liechtenstein patterns from the period, all extreme rarities.
