Thank you all for the congratulations and showing your coins!
Here are the available dates. I removed they years in which Switzerland did not mint the 20 Rappen.

I wondered if Hondo was going to do a contest
Nice
I'm gonna have some fun a la Go Fish style, except I don't know the dates on the 20 rappen...

So I post one of my own 20 rappen, dated 1958

mrwhatisit, it had been in the back of my mind and then a couple days ago I realized that 20K was quickly approaching!
I chose the 20 Rappen because it's a series that has had a long run and I had more than one of them. Actually, I have 4 but the dates on the other two are adjacent to one of the contest coins and I wanted to spread them out a bit.

I liked 1858, but it was taken already.
My second guess: 1898. You guys are in trouble, I'm going to pray now for the win...

1858 is gone so I'll go for 1859:

1859 Netherlands East Indies 1/2 cent

My second guess will be 1909. Just a random pick as I have no way to tell from those reverse photos what the actual dates are.
